Wagonga Inlet Seagrass Productivity and Distribution Data, 1991

Seagrass productivity and distribution data collected from Wagonga Inlet, adjacent to Narooma, NSW, between April and October 1991. The data were taken as a control site for similar sampling in Jervis Bay and are part of the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which is the only data still available from the study as the original database has been lost.

Use Cases

• Analyzing seagrass productivity trends based on the described productivity data
• Mapping seagrass distribution patterns based on the described distribution data
• Comparing ecological conditions between sites using the control site data
• Studying baseline marine ecology for the Jervis Bay region

Strengths

• Data collected over a defined 7-month period (April to October 1991)
• Serves as a documented control site for a larger ecological study

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
