Seagrasses in four estuaries in Western Australia’s South West 2017–2020
​Report no 86

Within many estuaries, seagrasses are foundation species that provide important habitat and perform critical ecological functions within the ecosystem. A number of estuaries along the south-west and south coasts of Western Australia are in poor and degraded condition due to anthropogenic pressures from land clearing for agriculture, industry and urban development. Although the monitoring of seagrasses in south-west estuaries has been intermittent during the past few decades, the data collected nevertheless supports this current assessment of the status of seagrass in these systems.
