Seagrass meadows: tropical (Thalassia, Cymodocea, Thalassodendron, Enhalus, Rotundata)

This map shows the connectivity of Seagrass meadows: tropical (Thalassia, Cymodocea, Thalassodendron, Enhalus, Rotundata) in the Great Barrier Reef and its surrounding areas: Torres Strait, Coral Sea and Great Sandy regions. The arrows indicate the strength and nature of the connection between the regions. This map is intended to identify where one region is dependent on a neighbouring region.

Additional notes: Torres Strait to GBR far northern connection is weak because probability is low, but the connection is important because it is the source.

The data for this map was developed based on expert opinion (Catherine Collier, Len McKenzie).
