Abstract

Seagrasses have been monitored annually in the Port of Townsville since 2007. Each year seagrass monitoring meadows representing the range of different seagrass community types found in Townsville are mapped and assessed for changes in area, biomass and species composition. These metrics are then used to develop a seagrass condition index (see section 2.3 of this report for further details). In addition to the annual monitoring assessments, all seagrasses within the greater port limits were re-mapped in 2016 as an update to the baseline survey last conducted in 2013
