Seagrass is a key vegetation community of the Gippsland Lakes Ramsar Site.

About the project

This project will monitor how seagrass is faring across the Gippsland Lakes.

This project:

  • Maps and monitors seagrass extent and distribution across the Gippsland Lakes Ramsar Site each year.
  • Collects long term data to understand trends in seagrass distribution over time.
  • Assesses results against the limit of acceptable change outlined in the Gippsland Lakes Ecological Character Description.
