Abstract

[Extract] A long-term seagrass monitoring program and strategy was developed for the Mackay-Hay Point region following a broad-scale baseline survey in 2014. The program built on seagrass monitoring that had been conducted at offshore areas around the Port of Hay Point since 2005, as well as numerous broad scale surveys that have been conducted since 2004. The annual monitoring program was revised in 2017 to include a broader survey and mapping of the Hay Point and Mackay offshore seagrass communities allowing for the adoption of a full seagrass condition reporting index developed by the TropWater seagrass group for ports throughout north Qld. In addition to the annual monitoring areas, a broader-scale survey of all seagrasses in the Hay Point region was also conducted in 2017.
