WA Seagrass Synthesis 2020
This record describes data collected for the 2013 report "Synthesis of seagrass mapping studies conducted by the Water Science Branch of the Department of Water", and collected more recently by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation ongoing monitoring.
This project record provides linkage to each of metadata records describing seagrass data collected from the 11 study areas: Beaufort Inlet (2009), Hardy Inlet (2008, 2018, 2020), Irwin Inlet (2009), Leschenault Estuary (2009, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 2019. 2020), Oyster Harbour (1988, 1996, 2006, 2019), Princess Royal Harbour (1996, 2006) Stokes Inlet (2009), Swan Canning (2011), Walpole Nornalup Inlets (2009), Wellstead Estuary (2009), Wilson Inlet (2007, 2008).

- Statement
- Data prior to 2013 was acquired by the ACEAS Seagrass Group for their 2013 Australia-wide risk assessment of Seagrass. Subsequent data was acquired from the WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. Methods broadly follow the 2013 report "Synthesis of seagrass mapping studies" conducted by the Water Science Branch of the Department of Water". See child records for specific methodology applying to individual seagrass surveys.
