Sentosa (Singapore): 19 July 2008

6am and in the glitter of Jurong lights on the horizon and a full moon in the sky, an intrepid team was out on Sentosa to check out the seagrasses there. It's a bit of a challenge to monitor in the dark. But in torchlight it works out fine. This shore is narrow but has lots of Enhalus acoroides and Halophila ovalis. We had a big team out today so Siti and Shufen set up the rest of the team to do a survey of coverage on the shore. They were super efficient and finished very quickly.

Townsville (Qld, Australia): 04 - 05 July 2008

The intervening months since the May monitoring were initially rather warm. Then, in much of June, we had distinctly cold nights. There was no rain. The changes since the May monitoring were rather extreme. Seagrass cover was quite low, dominated by Cymodocea serulata, which was all old and short. However, most remaining leaves were viable. Epicover was moderately high, dominated by diatomaceous mud but with the usual winter occurrence of filamentous algal cover as well . The cover of Halodule uninervis was much lower and the flush of this species noted for May did not seem to be persisting. Halophila ovalis once again was absent from the transects. Algal cover in the quadrats was totally dominated by Halimeda sp which was stunted and cryptic. Text : Dr. Don Kinsey
