Description

Title
Anderson Inlet Seagrass 1999 
Alternate title
SEAGRASS_ANDERSON_INLET_1999 
Purpose
This layer is the result of a baseline survey of seagrass within Victoria. Ecological research into the health of seagrass meadows requires the type of detailed information collected in this baseline survey. 
Supplemental Information
Current Design Issues: This information represents a "snap-shot" in time of the spatial extent of seagrass meadows in Anderson inlet. 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. Related Documents: None

Description
Source description not available 
Description
The delineation of the seagrass meadows was conducted through Aerial Photograph Interpretation. The linework was digitized from stable base overlays plotted on 1:10,000 colour photo prints. Polygons were attributed with species and density from data collected at sample sites in the field.
