摘要

Coastal development can impact on ecologically significant seagrasses. We sought to determine whether the construction of a pier and associated boat launching facilities would impact on Posidonia australis within Jervis Bay Marine Park, New South Wales, Australia. Using a modified 'beyond BACI' analysis we tested for impacts at three spatial scales; directly beneath the pier deck, within metres of the pier and approximately 50 m from the construction zone. We compared shoot density, leaf length and epiphytic cover prior to the commencement of construction to 7 months and 46 months later. Impacts were highly localised; we detected significant seagrass loss directly below the open-mesh deck of the pier, but not at the scale of metres and tens of metres relative to two non-impacted reference locations. Our data also supported the use of the trigger point approach to initiate management intervention; shoot density beneath of the deck of the pier fell below the 30th per-centile, ending 73% lower than the mean after 46 months. If similar developments occur in waterways supporting seagrass species of high conservation significance, then management agencies need to weigh the inevitable loss of a small area of meadow with the advantages the development will provide.
