Marine Forests

Seagrasses perform numerous important ecological functions, including carbon sequestration and serveing as a nursery area for juvenile fish and invertebrates. Natural resource managers need data on location and condition of seagrass meadows for better management decisions. Divers, acting as citizen scientists, have great potential to gather important data on this critically important habitat. This talk will focus on specific ways divers can collect data on seagrass, so it will be useful to natural resource managers.
