Indian River Lagoon
Seagrass Transect Monitoring
Type: Extent of habitat (i.e., area
of habitat and whether there has been a decline)and condition
of habitat and sources affecting habitat (i.e., the condition
or functionality of the habitat).
Category: Submerged
Cost: $ 50,000
Description: The project entails monitoring 75
seagrass transects on a bi-monthly basis. The data collected includes:
species, composition, seagrass density, depth penetration, water
quality parameters, light parameters, and a video record of the
transect.
Outcome: The seagrass data collected from the
75 points along the Indian River Lagoon will be used for comparing
between sites, between seasons, and between years, to determine
trends in the seagrass community.
