Draft - WAMSI 2 - Dredging Node - 5.3 - Defining thresholds and indicators of primary producers - Seagrass pressure-response relationships - Experiment 1

Project 5.3 will address three of the tasks required in the Dredging Science Node Science Plan (tasks 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5). Objectives of Project 5.3 are to:(1) determining the pressure:response relationships that relate the effects of dredging-generated sediments on tropical primary producers, (2) examine the pathways, rates and timeframes of recovery from impacts and; (3) identify and examine the effects of key environmental variables on the pressure:response relationships and recovery.Specifically *Experiment 1* will be studying "Effect of different intensity, duration & timing of light reductions on seagrasses (Laboratory)"
