Statement
Biodiversity of invertebrates was assessed in plots with transplanted Amphibolis antarctica, and Posidonia australis, compared to adjacent bare sand and healthy meadows (both species). Invertebrate abundance was assessed from 3 replicate 5m x 1m transects with invertebrates observed 1m either side of the transect line. Transplant plots were 25 m2 in area and occurred at Middle Bluff, Dubaut Point, and Useless Loop (Shark Bay). Restoration plots were assessed at the following times (months since transplant): Middle Bluff: 8 months (Amphibolis antarctica); 8, 26 and 30 months (Posidonia australis) Dubaut Point: 8 months (Amphibolis antarctica); 8, 26 and 30 months (Posidonia australis) Useless Loop: 60 months (both species) at 3, 5 and 7m depth
