Abstract

Seagrasses have been monitored annually in the Port of Karumba since 1994. Each year, the monitoring meadow between the Norman and Bynoe Rivers at Alligator Bank (Figure 1) is assessed for changes in biomass (density), distribution (area), species composition, and reproductive capacity (seed bank, fruits and flowers). Changes to area, biomass and species composition are assessed using a seagrass condition index (see 2.3 and Appendix 1 of this report for further details).
