Data was collected from Cockburn Sound to determine: - the past and present distribution of seagrasses; - the 'standing crop' (weight of above-ground material) of seagrass in December 1977; - the light penetration or attenuation in the water column in Cockburn Sound; - the suitability of water quality for seagrass growth through the use of field transplants of seagrass; and - the primary productivity of Posidonia spp. in Cockburn Sound
