IN THE UPPER LAGUNA MADRE

The Texas Seagrass Monitoring Program evaluates seagrass conditions based on landscape-scale dynamics, including a hierarchical strategy to establish the quantitative relationships between physical and biotic parameters that control seagrass condition, distribution, and persistence... This project is conducted by scientists and graduate students at The University of Texas Marine Science Institute (data collection and synthesis) and The University of Texas at Austin Center for Water and the Environment (Dr. Tim Whiteaker, data management) under the direction of Dr. Ken Dunton. All fieldwork and data collection are currently led by Ph.D. Candidate Kyle Capistrant-Fossa. All data are collected, processed and synthesized with funding provided by sponsors.
