Abstract

Seagrasses have been monitored in the Port of Thursday Island biennially since 2002 and annually since 2016. Nine seagrass meadows representing the range of different seagrass community types found in the Thursday Island region are monitored and assessed for changes in area, biomass, and species composition. These indicators are used to develop a seagrass condition index (see section 2.4 of this report for further details). In addition, every three years all seagrasses within the greater port limits are mapped and assessed.
