Hardy Inlet (WA) Seagrass 2008
Aquatic flora surveys of the Hardy Inlet were conducted from the top of Molloy Island and the Scott River Basin to the mouth of the Inlet.
Surveys were initially conducted in 2008 by Murdoch University’s Marine and Freshwater Research Laboratory (MAFRL) and forms part of the 2013 report "Synthesis of seagrass mapping studies" conducted by the Water Science Branch of the Department of Water.
This data was acquired by the ACEAS Seagrass Group as part of the 2013 Australia-wide risk assessment of Seagrass.
Surveys were conducted again in 2018, 2020 & 2023 by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation as "Hardy Inlet Seagrass Survey".
The datasets making up the 2008 Hardy Inlet seagrass survey data are:
WA_MAFRL_Hardy_seagrass_polygons - polygon dataset showing interpolated percentage cover of Ruppia spp.
This record provides access to the initial MAFRL surveys. See associated DWER records in Data WA catalogue for access to newer surveys at this site.

- Statement
- The survey employed broad-scale characterisation techniques such as manta tows along transects, to cover the large area. Coverage estimates of seagrass and macroalgae were carried out according to that of English et al. (1994). Percentage cover was estimated on a scale of 0 to 100%, incorporating five categories, 0-10%, 11-30%, 31-50%, 51-75% and 76-100%. The GPS location of the beginning and end of transects were recorded. GPS coordinates and depths were also taken at points of interest and where there were any visual changes in habitat.
