Seagrass biomass (mean ± 1 S.E.) across four sites at Hay Point from July 2004 to October 2012 in months when seagrass sampling occurred.
Horizontal bars below the x-axis indicate the presence of Halophila decipiens (dark green) and Halophila spinulosa (light green). Dark and medium brown horizontal bars below the x-axis denote the period of dredging and bed-levelling respectively while light brown bars indicate the pre- and post-dredging period. Dark blue horizontal bars below the x-axis represent the growing season for seagrasses in the region while pale blue bars represent the seagrass senescent season. Note log-scale on y-axis.
