Port Phillip Bay seagrass mapping at nine aerial assessment regions in April 2008

dataset: SEAGRASS_PPB_9REGIONS_APRIL08
This polygon layer represents seagrass habitat at nine regions in Port Phillip Bay in April 2008 mapped from aerial photography. The mapping was undertaken for the Baywide Seagrass Monitoring Program (CDP_ENV_MD_022 Rev5 - Port of Melbourne Corporation, 2010). The program is being undertaken for the Port of Melbourne Corporation as part of Baywide Monitoring to support the Channel Deepening Project.

Description

Title
Port Phillip Bay seagrass mapping at nine aerial assessment regions in April 2008 
Alternate title
SEAGRASS_PPB_9REGIONS_APRIL08 
Purpose
The objective of the Baywide Seagrass Monitoring Program is to detect changes in seagrass health outside expected variability. Seagrass is being monitored at several spatial scales including aerial mapping undertaken annually in April/May. This data presents seagrass mapping from aerial photography at one of nine detailed aerial assessment regions established in the main seagrass areas in Port Phillip Bay. The seagrass mapping will be compared to the previous year's mapping and historic mapping to detect changes in percent cover outside expected variability. This dataset replaces the datasets SEAGRASS_ALTONA_2008, SEAGRASS_BLAIRGOWRIE_2008, SEAGRASS_CURLEWIS_BANK_2008, SEAGRASS_KIRK_POINT_2008, SEAGRASS_MUD_ISLANDS_2008, SEAGRASS_PT_HENRY_WEST_2008, SEAGRASS_PT_RICHARDS_2008, SEAGRASS_ST_LEONARDS_2008 and SEAGRASS_SWAN_BAY_2008.
