Seagrass and marine resources in the Dugong protection areas of Upstart Bay, Newry Region, Sand Bay, Llewellyn Bay, Ince Bay and the Clairview Region, April/May 1999 and October 1999
The Marine Plant Ecology Group (Queensland Fisheries Service, Queensland
Department of Primary Industries) was commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef
Marine Park Authority to undertake two (one autumn and one spring) detailed
seagrass surveys of the Dugong Protection Areas in Upstart Bay, Newry region, Sand
Bay, Llewellyn Bay, Ince Bay, and a reconnaissance survey in the Clairview region. The
information gathered from these surveys enhances the understanding and subsequent
management of seagrass resources for fisheries and as dugong feeding habitats
