Current Design Issues: This information represents a "snap-shot" in time of the spatial extent of seagrass meadows in Corner Inlet and Nooramunga. The area of coverage and density of the various species of seagrass changes with time, both seasonally and yearly.
Future Design Issues: Future design considerations may include the adding extra species and recording the condition of the seagrass in relation to epiphyte coverage.
