Resource Brief: Seagrass Monitoring Program Summary

Carlson JE. 2022. Resource Brief: Seagrass Monitoring Program Summary. Gulf Coast I&M Network

This 2-page brief summarizes how the Gulf Coast Network monitors seagrass beds in two National Seashores in the Gulf Coast region of the United States. The objectives are to (1) monitor change in seagrass percent cover, community species composition and leaf length, and (2) record ancillary data (e.g., water transparency, salinity) to test for associations with seagrass metrics over time. A final objective is to participate in regional seagrass monitoring when fiscally possible.
