seagrass productivity in Laguna Madre. One of the major components of this integrative model is the Laguna
Madre Seagrass Model (LMSM) which was designed to interface with other component models described in this
report, including carbon and nitrogen allocation, sediment diagenesis, and spectral irradiance and radiative
transfer. Linkage with hydrodynamic and sediment transport models provided a potentially valuable
management tool to assess the effects of maintenance dredging and resuspension of dredged material deposits
on seagrasses of Laguna Madre.Texas A&M University and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Galveston District) 96-PL-03Marine Scienc
