Aquatic flora surveys were conducted in Wilson Inlet in 2007 and 2008. This data is part of the 2013 report "Synthesis of seagrass mapping studies" conducted by the Water Science Branch of the Department of Water. The 2007 survey was conducted to review any changes in seagrass distribution since the previous survey in 1996 (data not included in this record), and was funded internally by the Water Science branch. The 2008 survey was conducted by the WA Department of Water together with Geoscience Australia. The objective of the 2008 survey was to collect baseline data on seagrass composition and distribution in key estuaries of southern and south-western WA. This data was acquired by the ACEAS Seagrass Group as part of the 2013 Australia-wide risk assessment of Seagrass. Surveys were conducted again in December 2017, April 2018, December 2019, December 2020, December 2021 and December 2022 by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation as "Wilson Inlet Seagrass Survey". The datasets making up the 2007-2008 Wilson Inlet seagrass survey data are: WA_WilsonInlet_seagrass_polygons - polygon dataset showing interpolated percentage cover of seagrass with species information (where available). This record provides access to the initial WA DoW surveys. See associated DWER records in Data WA catalogue for access to newer surveys at this site.
