Brief description 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), Irwin Inlet (2009), Leschenault Estuary (2009), Oyster Harbour (1988, 1996, 2006), Princess Royal Harbour (1996, 2006) Stokes Inlet (2009), Swan Canning (2011), Walpole Nornalup Inlets (2009), Wellstead Estuary (2009), Wilson Inlet (2007, 2008). Additional monitoring data is available from the WA DWER seagrass group via https://data.wa.gov.au for the following study areas: Leschenault Estuary (2014-2023), Peel Harvey Estuary (2021), Hardy Inlet (2018, 2020, 2023), Wilson Inlet (2017-2022), Wilson Inlet (2017-2022), Oyster Harbour (2019, 2021), Princess Royal Harbour (2021). To access the source datasets from the 2013 Synthesis for each study site/sampling occasion in their original (unaggregated) form, see child records linked to this parent record.
Lineage Statement: Data prior to 2013 (inclusive) was acquired by the ACEAS Seagrass Group for their 2013 Australia-wide risk assessment of Seagrass. Subsequent data has been acquired by the WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) and is available from https://data.wa.gov.au 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.
