Project Description
The University of Texas (UT) will expand the Texas Seagrass Monitoring Program to include monitoring in all know seagrass beds along the entire Texas coast. UT currently samples 285 seagrass stations coastwide and will work to establish up to 75 additional stations in San Antonio Bay and Galveston Bay. UT will conduct elemental analysis of seagrass tissue to determine ratios of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous . Project findings will be presented through the Scientist in Residence program and public seminars.
