Seagrass in Gippsland Lakes

dataset: SEAGRASSGL
This layer represents the spatial extent, species distrubtion and density of seagrass meadows within the Gippsland Lakes. This layer is a result of a baseline survey of seagrass within the Gippsland Lakes. Ecological research into the health of seagrass meadows requires the type of detailed information collected in this baseline survey. This information will be used to establish future monitoring programs and it is envisaged that these areas will be re-surveyed every 5 years to detect macro changes.

Resource Type
Dataset  
Purpose
This layer was created to assess seagrass changes and spatial distribution in Gippsland Lakes, by the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute (MAFRI) for Fisheries Victoria, Parks, Flora and Fauna. 
Supplemental Information
Current Design Issues: This information represents a snap shot in time of the spatial extent of seagrass meadows in the Gippsland Lakes. The area of coverage and density of the various species of seagrass constantly 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
