The impacts of a river effluent on the coastal seagrass habitats of Mahé, Seychelles
A survey was conducted investigating the composition, distribution and abundance of seagrass in the vicinity of an untreated river effluent on the island of Mahé, Seychelles. This is a highly populated region of the island with a high concentration of human activity occurring within the river catchment. Results indicated that sedimentation, salinity and water quality resulting from the effluent discharge appears to be the dominant factor in inhibiting seagrass growth immediately adjacent to and north of the effluent mouth resulting from sea currents driven by south-easterly winds
