Shoot counts for Amphibolis antarctica and Posidonia australis seagrass species transplanted to Middle Bluff and Dubaut Point in Shark Bay. The data was collected by the Malgana people with assistance from UWA staff, with growth assessed after an 8-month period. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling seagrass survival rates based on transplant location.
- Comparing growth performance between Amphibolis antarctica and Posidonia australis species.
- Assessing the effectiveness of community-led ecological restoration projects.
Strengths
- Data collection involved collaboration between the Malgana people and university researchers, suggesting community engagement.
- Growth was measured at a specific 8-month interval, providing a clear temporal snapshot.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
