Summary

SAV

Parameters

Shoot density (3x year) (shoots/m^2); species composition – 10 sites mouth Caloosahatchee; canopy height (cm); quadrat depth (m); percent cover (0-100%); sediment type

Notes

Note - Our % cover numbers are actually % presence/absence. In our 1 m2 quadrat if any of the 100 subsquares have a shoot - we count that as 1% - so it may be 100% cover but only 100 shoots. - Other than that its like how you all do it. For our Caloosahatchee surveys - "LC&PIS" stations - we have two 100 meter transects which intersetct at 50 meters. One is parallel to shore, one perp. We have 5 fixed quads along each transect. For our NWR stations, we have only one 100m transect - usually perp to shore. 5 fixed quads along transect. Water quality data is uploaded into DEP's WIN. Our agency ID is 21FLSCCF
