 Water Depth of Seagrass Meadows in Tampa Bay - Abstract
The Tampa Bay Estuary Program has selected seagrass restoration target depths for each major bay segment at which adequate light conditions (20.5% of subsurface irradiance) shall be maintained to ensure seagrass growth and the long-term Tampa Bay seagrass goal of 15,400ha.
To evaluate the progress of the seagrass restoration effort, field investigations of accurate water depths at the deep edges of Tampa Bay seagrass meadows are now underway using differential GPS carrier-phase processing.
The estimated average percent of subsurface incident light available at the deep edges of the surveyed seagrass meadow ranged from 59.8 to 28.9% for H. wrightii, from 31.4 to 16.0% for S. filiforme and from 20.9 to 16.9% for Thalassia testudinum.
