- Title:
- Post Hurricane Katrina Damage Assessment of Seagrass Resources of Coastal Alabama
- Description:
- Abstract:
- These data were collected to help evaluate the effects of Hurricane Katrina on seagrass meadows along the Alabama coast.
- Purpose:
- The purpose of these data
is to visually represent in a GIS where, at previously surveyed points
along the Alabama coast, seagrass can be found and in what densities.
