Resource lineage

Statement
For seadragons, transects parallel to the shore at the reef/sand interface were surveyed and site dimensions estimated using a GPS unit into a waterproof case that was towed on the surface, covering an area of 5000-7000m2 at two sites (Kingston Beach & Blackman’s Bay). All individuals were individually marked with visible implant fluorescent elastomer (earlier study) or photographed (later study) (see Sanchez-Camara et al., 2011, Martin-Smith, 2011 for more details).
