- Statement
- This data was acquired by the ACEAS Seagrass Group as part of the 2013 Australia-wide risk assessment of Seagrass. Source files: WA_Seagrass_wi_2007_gda94_z50.shp + WA_TransectPoints_wi_2007_gda94z50_reproj.shp Method as taken from the 2013 report "Synthesis of seagrass mapping studies" conducted by the Water Science Branch of the Department of Water": The Wilson Inlet seagrass survey was conducted by snorkel tows along predetermined transects in the estuary. The transects were 200-300 m apart running perpendicular to the shoreline to the edge of the seagrass meadow (usually ending before the 3m depth limit). Coordinates were recorded along each transect together with percentage cover classes of seagrass. Seagrass density changes in Wilson inlet were mapped using ArcViewTM . Spatial Analyst was used to create the distribution map of seagrass in the Inlet by interpolating density data between the points using the inverse distance weighted method. Given the basin type nature of the Inlet a cut-off boundary of seagrass was assumed using the 2 meter contour line of the Wilson Inlet bathymetry layer. Two meters was the reported depth limit of seagrass in the Inlet. This showed the central part of the basin to have no seagrass. The objective of the study was to compare seagrass coverage in the Inlet in 2007 to the coverage recorded in 1996.
