Funded Activity Summary

The stability of shallow coastal sediments with and without seagrasses. One of the key factors influencing the success of seagrass transplantation work appears to be the stability of the surrounding sediment, and therefore an understanding of the dynamism of the sediments is crucial to further progress in this field. This project will examine the dynamics of sediments around seagrass meadows across a range of wave energies. A series of automated sediment height loggers will be deployed in seagrass meadows, as well as locations where seagrass meadows have been lost. Detailed studies of the sediments and environmental conditions will be undertaken at the same time, permitting comparisons between different locations.
