Beaufort Inlet (WA) Seagrass 2009

This data is part of the 2013 report "Synthesis of seagrass mapping studies" conducted by the Water Science Branch of the Department of Water.Surveys were conducted by the WA Department of Water together with Geoscience Australia. The objective of these surveys was to collect baseline data on seagrass composition and distribution in key estuaries of southern and south-western WA.This data was acquired by the ACEAS Seagrass Group as part of the 2013 Australia-wide risk assessment of Seagrass.The datasets making up the Beaufort Inlet seagrass survey data are:WA_Beaufort_SAV_sites - point dataset of species presence/absence and survey methodology at each site.WA_Beaufort_SAV_polygons - polygon dataset showing interpolated percentage cover in polygons derived from site points.

本数据集隶属于水务部（Department of Water）水务科学处（Water Science Branch）于2013年编制的《海草制图研究综合报告》（Synthesis of seagrass mapping studies）。本次调查由西澳大利亚州水务部（WA Department of Water，WA为Western Australia的缩写）与澳大利亚地球科学局（Geoscience Australia）联合实施，旨在收集西澳大利亚州南部及西南沿岸重点河口区域的海草组成与分布基线数据。本数据集由ACEAS海草工作组（ACEAS Seagrass Group）在2013年澳大利亚全国海草风险评估项目中完成采集。构成博福特河口（Beaufort Inlet）海草调查数据集的内容如下：
- WA_Beaufort_SAV_sites：点位数据集，记录各调查点位的物种存在/缺失情况及调查方法；
- WA_Beaufort_SAV_polygons：面状数据集，展示由调查点位插值得到的各面块内海草盖度百分比。
