During the summer 2010, the Loxahatchee River District quantified species-specific seagrass coverage within the Loxahatchee River Estuary, Palm Beach County, Florida. Sample points were selected using a modified random stratified design with presence/absence scores measured within a portable 9m2grid. Seagrass species were scored 1-9 for occurrence in each 1m2 of the 9 observed. Data also included visual seagrass density, water depth, coordinate location, sediment type and depth of muck 1,667 discreet points were sampled. All data were recorded with a sub-meter accurate GPS. |
