Seagrass meadows in the Woppaburra Sea Country play a vital role in supporting coastal habitats and in maintaining diverse marine life. Seagrasses are also important for the social, cultural, economic and spiritual connections to country for the Woppaburra people. However, seagrass meadows in the Woppaburra Sea-country have been poorly mapped. There is a priority to build detailed maps of the seagrass distribution to determine the extent and health of the meadows and build the capacity of Sea Rangers to map, restore and monitor the health of the meadows.

Observations of the poor condition of seagrass meadows in Considine Bay over the last five years by Woppaburra People and Central Queensland University (CQU) Coastal Marine Ecosystem Research Centre (CMERC) researchers indicate that the seagrass there (Zostera muelleri and Halodule uninervis) may require enhancement to improve its resilience. The mapping and understanding of seagrass health, will enable appropriate interventions such as ongoing monitoring, revegetation, and development of blue carbon projects.
