Benthic Ecology Program
The benthic ecology program focuses on benthic habitats, from faunal communities in the sediment to biodiversity rich seagrass meadows. Understanding how these ecosystems and their species assemblages interact with physical, chemical and biological parameters is essential to protecting and managing these essential habitats.
CCS has recently assumed leadership of SeagrassNet, the oldest continually running monitoring program worldwide with collaborators from South Korea to Brazil.
