The priorities were to obtain additional information on the following: - Species assemblage (for example, distinguish between seagrass species, reef areas, wrack material, mussel beds); - Vegetation percentage cover; - Presence of epiphyte material; and - Habitat information for areas deeper than 10 m or with poor water clarity. These results were presented in Report No. 321/1 {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[115.71, -32.24], [115.79, -32.24], [115.79, -32.12], [115.71, -32.12], [115.71, -32.24]]]} 115.71 115.79 -32.24 -32.12 54 001021 54 105000 63 605002 63 605004 63 617001 63 617002 63 617003 Biosphere | Aquatic Habitat | Coastal Habitat Biosphere | Aquatic Habitat | Reef Habitat Halophila decipiens Halophila ovalis Hincksia mitchelliae Oceans | Marine Biology | Marine Habitat Oceans | Marine Biology | Marine Plants Posidonia angustifolia Posidonia australis Posidonia sinuosa Sargassum sp. soft sediment, vegetated habitat, sea grass, reef habitat, benthic habitat Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Report No. 321/1 documentDigital PDF Cockburn Sound Management Council home page documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
