Description

Light loggers have been deployed throughout Cleveland Bay in order to asses how much light seagrasses need (seagrass light requirements) and to validate spatial light predictions (eReefs). Eight stations have been established within Cleveland Bay seagrass meadows in 2017 to monitor benthic light levels, which is in addition to three stations maintained at Magnetic Island for the inshore seagrass Marine Monitoring Program since 2008.
