Summary

This project will establish a cost-effective sensor array to better monitor and understand seagrass decline in Bermuda, helping to inform management decisions by monitoring climatic conditions around seagrass habitats and the grazing behaviour of sea turtles and other species that rely on seagrass as a food source. Furthermore, local Bermudian organizations will be trained to deploy, maintain and repair the sensor array through a series of capacity building workshops to enable long-term sustainability and monitoring to continue beyond project completion.
