Abstract

Deep-water seagrasses (>10m) along the tropical Queensland coast have been monitored by the TropWATER Seagrass Group since late 2011 as part of the Deep-water Seagrass Dynamics Program. The goal of this program is to contribute critical information on the growth strategies that drive spatial and seasonal dynamics of tropical deep water Halophila spp. communities in the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. This includes determining the relationships between environmental conditions (namely light and temperature), and seagrass abundance, productivity and reproductive effort in a range of deep-water seagrass community types to address critical information gaps and to provide management advice to protect these populations at risk from anthropogenic activities
