Notes | This paper describes a method for mapping estuarine eelgrass beds that can be applied to other subsurface aquatic vegetation, and to give a method for estimating the part of the eelgrass that is too deep to be detected by this method. Bathymetric models of three estuaries were made and then compared with eelgrass distribution. |
