Seagrass-Watch monitoring Torres Strait

This study collects information on intertidal seagrass meadows at Thursday and Horn Island, Torres Strait. Data is collected by scientists and trained students/ community volunteers using the standard Seagrass-Watch protocols (see www.seagrasswatch.org). Three permanently marked sites (50mx 50m) are monitored 3 - times a year. Data is submitted to Seagrass-Watch HQ for QAQC and submission to the main Seagrass-Watch MSAccess database (Northern Fisheries Centre, DPI&F custodians). Summary data and anaylis is presented in quarterly newsletters and available on the web as part of State of teh Environment reporting.

本研究采集了托雷斯海峡星期四岛与霍恩岛的潮间带海草床相关数据。数据由科研人员、受训学生及社区志愿者依照标准海草监测计划（Seagrass-Watch）规程采集，具体要求详见www.seagrasswatch.org。研究设置3处永久标记样地（规格为50米×50米），每年开展3次监测工作。所获数据将提交至海草监测计划（Seagrass-Watch）总部进行质量保证与质量控制（QAQC），随后录入该计划的核心MSAccess数据库（由北渔业中心、初级产业与渔业部（DPI&F）负责托管）。汇总数据与分析结果将刊发于季度通讯，并作为《环境状况报告》的组成部分在官方网站对外公开。
