Eelgrass Gibsons Fieldwork 2019

Survey of eelgrass done in September 2019 to update the foreshore eelgrass distribution maps and to identify changes in eelgrass distribution and health that have occurred between 2004-2019. Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a type of marine plant known as seagrass, which, unlike seaweed, contains a vascular system that transports liquid and nutrients. Eelgrass provides habitat for many species.

本数据集对应的鳗草（eelgrass）调查于2019年9月开展，旨在更新潮间带鳗草分布地图，并明确2004年至2019年间鳗草分布与健康状况的变化。鳗草（Zostera marina）是一类被称为海草（seagrass）的海洋维管植物，与海藻不同，其拥有可输送液体与营养物质的维管系统，可为诸多物种提供栖息生境。
