Abstract
The study protocol followed a recent proposal by Dunton and Pulich to the Seagrass Monitoring Work Group (Landscape Monitoring and Biological Indicators for Seagrass Conservation in Texas Coastal Waters, draft, Dunton et al. 2007) and included three components: 1) landscape monitoring using high resolution color aerial photography, 2) seagrass condition and water quality indicators, and 3) seagrass epiphyte fluorescence analysis. Findings from the third objective are presented here.
