Sediment Type Recorded in Seagrass Surveys

Sediment Type Recorded in surveys shows the vast majority of seagrass occur in substrate types of sand and mud, which can be highly susceptible to oceanic forces during big storm events. Link to the interactive map can be found here.

These data are derived from two datasets:
