IC41_NZ - Turbidity variations in and around Tauranga Harbour
Worldwide estuaries are experiencing recognized increase in suspended sediment concentration, caused by a combination of natural events and human-induced activities, resulting in decrease of water quality. In this context, our project focuses on understanding how background turbidity and turbid dredging plumes change the availability and properties of light in estuarine ecosystems and how they affect seagrass photosynthesis and the feeding behaviour of key species. Seagrass form highly productive ecosystems and provide a habitat for a range of other organisms, and suspension feeders play an import role in the benthic-pelagic coupling. more
