Full description
The Pressure-Response Relationships, Building Resilience and Future-Proofing Seagrass Meadows project (Project 2.2) is a research initiative under the multi-million dollar WAMSI Westport Marine Science Program in Western Australia. The project focuses heavily on temperate seagrasses (such as Posidonia sinuosa) in Cockburn Sound, a heavily industrialized embayment. It is designed to evaluate tolerance thresholds and recovery timelines against anthropogenic pressures, such as port dredging and climate change. Key components of the project's sub-studies include: Pressure-Response & Dredging Impacts; Thresholds & Recovery Metrics and Building Resilience.
