Seagrass monitoring
C3 Madagascar

We applied the Seagrass-Watch methodology, which consists in surveying seagrass beds with a quadrat, and help to assess the different species, their density and their health status

Results: For the sites surveyed, seagrass mean cover was from 7.5 % to 38.6%

  • Identification of dominant species
  • identification of dominant species and their average coverage
  • Annual monitoring should be maintained in order to know the state of the meadows and in order to take necessary measures in case of important degradations
