EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Underwater seagrass meadows provide critical habitat for a wide range of plants and animals,

including many commercial fish (Larkham et al. 2006; Glasspool 1994). In 2004, recognizing the

vital importance of seagrass habitats in sustaining the ecological integrity of Bermuda’s marine

environment, in 2004 members of the Bermuda Biodiversity Project and the Department of

Conservation Services undertook the first comprehensive regional assessment and mapping of all

seagrass meadows across the Bermuda reef platform. The location, extent and condition of the

majority of seagrass meadows in Bermuda were assessed using a variety of procedures. Many

variables that indicate the condition of each seagrass meadow were quantified and the data

analyzed and entered into a statistical and geographic information system (GIS) database.

Fine-scale computerized mapping and subsequent broad-scaled field assessment of seagrass

meadows in Bermuda show that (1) meadows representing nearly one-quarter of the territory’s

total seagrass area in 1997 had declined by 2004, (2) net loss of seagrass meadows occurred at

rim reef and lagoonal locations that are far-removed from anthropogenic disturbances, (3) the

decline appears to have been in progress as early as 1996, and (4) both T. testudinum and S.

filiforme meadows declined. Nearly 2100 ha of meadows were visible in a 1997 georeferenced

mosaic of aerial photographs of the Bermuda platform. In 2004, 22 meadows that represented

about 475 of the 900 ha of offshore seagrass identified in 1997 were absent or in obvious decline.

The size and location of inshore and nearshore meadows, which are exposed to intense

anthropogenic stresses and physical damage, varied over the same 7 yr period, but their total area

has either remained unchanged or even increased.

An index of ecological integrity (IEI), derived from seagrass shoot density and shoot height data,

indicated both healthy meadows and those in catastrophic decline. The IEI also pinpointed the

location of meadows of intermediate quality, which are most likely to decline in the short-term

future and which may be worthy of special focus if the source of the mass mortality event is to

be determined.

Introduction

Bermuda is a 5560 hectare chain of limestone islands located in the North Atlantic near 32oN

64oW. The islands run along the southeast side of a 150,000-hectare carbonate platform accreted

on the top of an eroded volcano that emerged from the sea over 33 mya. Arrays of patch and

pinnacle reefs extend from nearshore, across the deeper lagoon situated to the north and west of

the islands, and out to the rim reef that encircles the platform. Extending beyond the rim in all

directions is a 1-km wide forereef terrace that reaches to 50-m depth, beyond which the sides

slope down precipitously to 1000-m depth and then gradually to the seafloor at 4500 m.

Although Bermuda is north of the tropics, prevailing warm oceanic conditions support a limited

number of small mangrove forests, extensive and healthy coral reefs, as well as meadows of

tropical and subtropical seagrasses.

Four or five species of seagrass are found in Bermuda; Thalassia testudinum Banks & Soland ex

Koenig (turtle grass), Syringodium filiforme Kuetzing (manatee grass), Halodule wrightii

Ascherson (shoal grass), and either one or two species of Halophila (P. Barnes and M. Waycott,

pers. comm.): Halophila decipens Ostenfeld (and possibly Halophila engelmanii Ascherson)

(paddle grasses). Bermuda is the northern geographic limit for T. testudinum, S. filiforme and

both species of Halophila in the Atlantic (Den Hartog 1970, South 1983, Green & Short 2003),

whereas H. wrightii occurs in slightly more northern, continental locations (Den Hartog 1970,

Green & Short 2003). In Bermuda, T. testudinum, S. filiforme and H. wrightii are limited to

depths less than 15 m (TJTM, SM, AFG, unpublished data) and thus do not spread across the

deeper parts of the inshore basins or the lagoon. Halophila species are typically able to grow at

lower light intensities (Short et al. 2001, Short & Coles 2001) and are patchily distributed across

the platform to depths as great as 18 m (Smith et al. 1998, TJTM, pers. obs.).

Globally, seagrass meadows are recognized as a vitally important ecosystem due to their highly

productive nature, their elevated and unique biodiversity, the role they play in the cycling of

nutrients and the structural integrity they provide to shallow marine areas (c.f. Short and Coles

2001, Duarte 2002). Additionally, and in part due to the locally-limited extent of mangroves,

Bermuda seagrass meadows represent primary habitats for juvenile and adult fishes, lobsters,

conchs, and green turtles (Evans & Lockwood 1994, Evans & Evans 1995, Berg et al. 1992,

al. 2003).

Protection of seagrass habitat

In order to guide the management of seagrass habitats, the Bermuda Biodiversity Project (BZS),

in conjunction with the Bermuda Government’s Department of Conservation, initiated the

development of the Species and Habitat Action Plans for Bermuda, as called for in the

Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan. Included in the plan were several recommendations for

seagrass habitats, such as the following:

Habitat Protection: Promote the protection of seagrass beds

• Determine the extent and quality of the seagrass beds around Bermuda

• Identify seagrass beds of particular significance as nursery grounds for fish and

invertebrates and ensure that these are protected as marine protected areas

• Identify suitable sites for reintroduction or restoration of seagrass and draw up a

strategy to enable the target to be met

• Take account of the conservation requirements of seagrass beds in the development

and implementation of coastal zone management plans and ensure they are not

managed in isolation from other habitats and communities in the area

Research and Monitoring: Promote ongoing research and monitoring programmes to

assess the current status of Bermuda’s seagrass beds

• Compile an up-to-date record of the extent, quality and distribution of seagrass

around Bermuda

• Identify the different types of seagrass communities around Bermuda

• Establish a programme to set up monitoring stations across the range of seagrass beds

and standardize procedures for monitoring them

• Record recruitment of fish and invertebrates at identified monitoring stations

• Conduct research into the factors which adversely affect seagrass beds to understand

how these may be avoided or minimized

• Carry out research and feasibility studies on the restoration of seagrass beds through

transplanting and germination.

In order to achieve the goals defined in the Habitat Action Plan for seagrasses, the Bermuda Reef

Ecosystem Assessment and Mapping (BREAM) programme, a collaboration of the BBP and the

Bermuda Ministry of the Environment, Department of Conservation Services, undertook the first

comprehensive, region-wide assessment and mapping of seagrasses in 2004. All seagrass

meadows located on the Bermuda platform (Fig 1) were manually mapped to a GIS database

from a geo-referenced mosaic of aerial photographs taken in June 1997 (Bermuda Zoological

Society 1997).

The Bermuda Zoological Society geo-referenced photo-mosaic

The launch of the BBP in 1997 came on the heels of the International Year of the Coral Reef

(IYCR) 1996, which was focused on promoting coral reef assessment, monitoring and education.

Particular weight was given to the mapping of reefs. At that time, most mapping initiatives relied

on satellite images, but the resolution was still relatively poor and often the expertise to provide

the necessary habitat verification was lacking.

The opportunity provided the BBP in 1997 to have a low level aerial flyover of Bermuda, with

accurate GPS positioning, extended to cover the whole of the shallow reef platform seemed an

ideal alternative to allow a much more accurate assessment and habitat map to be developed.

With the subsequent application of GIS, it was felt that this could serve as a valuable framework

for integrating all future research on Bermuda’s marine environment, thereby serving as a critical

tool for scientists and resource managers alike.

The value of the resulting aerial image continues to grow, and in addition to its application for

marine habitat mapping, it has been used as the framework for a similar terrestrial habitat

mapping initiative undertaken by the BBP between 1998 and 2001. We have also been keen to

share the product with other groups in the community who wish to use it as a baseline. The aerial

map has been made publicly available to all Bermuda residents through the LookBermuda™

website, and as such can be used as a valuable tool for education, resource management, and the

monitoring of habitats through time.

Methods and Protocols

Mapping and Site Assessment Protocol

We adopted the use of a hierarchy of assessment levels or tiers, that encompass a range of

resolutions, field and laboratory processing times, and expense. Each tier represents a

compromise between effort and the level of detail and accuracy of the data. Quick and simple

assessments are cheap and can be done over large areas quickly, but provide only a course level

of information. Alternately, the highly intensive and in-depth assessment of a large number of

species within sites provides a much more accurate indication of the condition of the site, but

takes a great deal of time and is costly, and so can only be accomplished at a small number of

locations. A tiered approach provides flexibility in the planning and implementation of field

surveys and allows our team to optimize the manner that we examine the condition of the

seagrass habitats around the Bermuda Islands. The tiers we used and their characteristics are

described below.

TIER 1 – “Desktop”

• No field observations

• Compilation of documented information

o Literature searches

o Surveys of experts

• To support the planning for monitoring and more detailed assessments

• Information to be compiled:

o Location, extent and area of coverage

o Physiographic classification

o Habitat type

o Water quality data

o Biological assemblage data

o Water column and seabed characteristics

TIER 2 – “Quick Look” Survey

• Visual confirmation of the presence and general condition of the habitat in question,

either with look-down buckets, snorkeling or manta tows.

Page 11: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 10

BREAM: BBP: BZS

• Aerial survey maps used to provide an indication of the location of the habitats at the

time of the initial fly-over.

• Allows the team to update the survey maps to guide the selection of sites for higher

tiers of assessment.

TIER 3 – Rapid Sampling

A one-time visit to sites during suitable, predetermined index periods to:

• Collect biological and habitat data using standardized methods

• Field check screening or survey information, to classify unknown sites and determine

reference sites

• Obtain information on the predominant organisms the provide the structure of the

habitat (i.e. corals, seagrasses), other sessile macroinvertebrates and fish, as well as

characteristics of the physiographic setting.

• Information to be collected:

o Atlantic and Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment (AGRRA) data

o Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) data

o Previously determined Indicators of Biological Integrity (IBI, i.e. indicator

species)

o Sediment characteristics (grain size dist., total volatile solids, sed. toxicity)

o Water column: (depth, turbidity, viz, temp, DO, pH, Salinity etc)

TIER 4 – Intensive Surveying

• High level of detail is incorporated into the standardized biological survey methods

• Multiple visits to the site to assess temporal variability and seasonality

• Assessment of broad range of species in addition to those of primary interest

• To develop and test and refine Indices of Biological Integrity.

• Detailed water column and seabed measurements (i.e. nutrients, toxins, heavy metals)

• Allows the development of a database sufficient to support management activities

The platform-wide assessment of seagrass carried out in 2004 utilized the following specific

types of data for each assessment tier:

Page 12: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 11

BREAM: BBP: BZS

Tier 1: Seagrass beds were initially be identified using aerial photographs and/or prior

knowledge of specific locations. Distinct areas were then defined as continuous seagrass

beds and/or areas of generally continuous seagrass coverage. Previous research done in

Bermuda and elsewhere with the same seagrass species was also collected through a

comprehensive literature review by a Dr. Kathy Coates (in progress).

Tier 2: Over 150 quick-look “bucket” or snorkel surveys that documented the most simple

categories of data were carried out across all seagrass beds mapped from the 1997

photomosaic.

Tier 3: 55 sites were selected within almost all seagrass meadows for in-situ assessment.

Surveyed seagrass meadows were typically ~2 km apart, unless there were special reasons

for surveying meadows that were closer together. Sites covered a 10 m by 30 m area.

Since each seagrass meadow was only surveyed once, survey sites were not located

randomly within each meadow. Instead, the sites were intentionally located within the

center of the densest part of the seagrass bed within the area of interest, based on the

aerial image. Non-random sampling was done as the purpose of these Tier 3 surveys was

to determine the overall condition of each of the many seagrass meadows dispersed across

Bermuda.

Tier 4: Comprehensive biodiversity surveys have yet to be done, awaiting the analysis of the Tier

1-3 level data. Once the lower tier assessments are carried out, 10 to 20 sites of special

scientific interest (SSI) will be assigned and Tier 4 assessments initiated as long-term,

intensive research projects.

Study Areas

Tier 1 (digital) mapping of seagrass visible within the aerial photo-mosaic was carried out in

May, 2004. The outer boundaries of seagrass beds were mapped manually using visual cues for

seagrass presence, with the use of the computer programme ArcGIS 3.2. The visual mapping of

the 1997 mosaic provided the framework that guided the location of assessment sites in 1994.

Tier 2 Assessments

All shallow sandy habitats likely to support seagrass growth were visually assessed for the

presence and condition of seagrass, along the paths illustrated below (Figure 2). Assessments

Page 13: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 12

were done by snorkel or viewing glass from a small research vessel, with location and habitat

characteristics noted at each sampling point.

Tier 3 Assessments

70 potential sites were pre-selected from the visual maps of seagrass distribution produced

during Tier 1 mapping (Fig. 2 - 7). Sites were chosen to include most seagrass meadows. Sites

within large continuous meadows were separated by one to two km in order to maximize the

extent of the platform that could be assessed. Of the 70 potential sites a total of 55 were surveyed

over the course of the summer and early autumn of 2004. The figures below show the locations

of each of these 55 sites.

Tier 3, in-situ site assessment protocol

For the Tier 3 assessments, sites were surveyed for the following general, qualitative and

quantitative variables. The purpose for assessing each variable and the manner in which each

was assessed are also described below.

General Characteristics

The following characteristics of the bay, reef system or general study area within which each

seagrass meadow was located were recorded for each site:

Site Name: Generally the place name of the area of interest was chosen.

Site ID number: Sites were numbered in order of assessment, from 2004-001

GPS Latitude and Longitude

Depth: As measured by depth sounder, depth gauge or sounding line.

Survey Time and Date

Physiographic Setting: The general geographic characteristics of the site. Physiographic

categories were: Inshore, Nearshore, Lagoonal and Offshore. Inshore sites were

completely enclosed by land. Nearshore sites were located within 500 m from shore.

Lagoonal sites were located further than 500 m from shore but within the rim of reef that

encircles the Bermuda Platform. Offshore sites were located along the inner edge of the

outer rim, either on the edge of large, sediment banks that sloped into the lagoon, or

amongst patch reefs.

Sediment: The size of the predominant grain size of the sediment found at the site was

assessed by eye. Finer-grained sediment particles indicate slower water flow in the site,

while coarser grain sizes indicate that high current speeds predominate.

Disturbance: The presence of a range of biological and anthropogenic sources of physical

damage were recorded.

Page 18: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 17

BREAM: BBP: BZS

Quantitative assessment:

Pilot Study

The minimum number of transects and quadrats needed to assess each site with a statistical

power of 0.8 was determined before intensive sampling was initiated. Three seagrass meadows,

qualitatively characterized as having dense, moderately dense and sparse shoot density, were

surveyed with fifty 25-cm2 quadrats placed along ten 10-m transects. Statistical analysis of the

data collected from these three seagrass sites determined that 35 quadrats produced data of only

marginally-lower statistical power while also allowing a much-faster overall sampling rate.

Intensive Sampling

Site-specific data for each selected area was collected by examining seven 10-m transects and

thirty-five 25-cm2 quadrats distributed over a 10-m by 30-m area. One 30-m tape was placed

along the long axis of the seagrass bed to make a baseline that could be followed back to the

boat. A marker buoy was used to indicate the end of the tape so that the boat did not have to

anchor in the middle of the seagrass bed. Each diver was assigned locations at 5-m intervals

along the tape where they were to place transect lines. At each location, one 10-m transect lines

was placed perpendicular to the tape measure. Divers then swam back along the length of the

transect, counting and recording all large invertebrates and fish found within a 1-m swath to their

right of the transect with the diver facing the direction of the tape measure. Fish were identified

to species and counted according to the following size categories: 0 - 5 cm; 5 – 10 cm; 10 – 20

cm; 20 – 30 cm; 30 – 40 cm; > 40 cm. Additionally, large (>3-cm) invertebrates, such as sea

urchins, gastropods and bivalves, were counted within a 1-m swath without regard to size. Once

the tape end of the transect was reached, the diver then returned down the line, assessing the

contents of quadrats placed at 5 points along the transect line as described in the next section

below. After the five quadrats were surveyed, the diver collected the transect tape and continued

to the next transect location they were assigned, or, if all transects were done, returned to the

boat.

Page 19: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 18

BREAM: BBP: BZS

Quadrat assessment protocol

Quadrats were placed at each odd-numbered meter mark (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) along the 10-m transect.

The lower left corner of the 25 cm2 PVC quadrate was placed at the point on the transect tape.

Once in position the diver assessed the following variables within each quadrat:

Seagrass Density: Denser seagrass meadows are generally considered to be healthier than

sparse meadows (Duarte et al. 2006). Overall density was assessed following a 4 point

scale:

0: No seagrass present;

1: Sparse seagrass, mostly sand;

2: Moderately dense seagrass, blades between bundles overlap, sand visible;

3: Dense seagrass, blades heavily overlapping, no sand visible.

Seagrass Height (cm): Seagrass meadows with taller seagrass blades are considered

healthier than short or overgrazed seagrass meadows (Duarte et al. 2006). The Maximum

Canopy Height was measured in cm within each quadrat, with a ruler.

Relative Proportion of Seagrass: Each of the three principal species of seagrass in Bermuda

may dominate a seagrass meadow. There is some indication that Halodule sp. are more

indicative of disturbed seagrass meadows while Thalassia testudinum only occurs at the

end of the successional sequence and is an indicator of older, less disturbed meadows

(Tussenbroek et al. 2006). The relative proportion of each type of seagrass was assessed

in each quadrat on a 10 point scale.

Seagrass Counts: The number of short-shoot bundles within a defined square area provides

a quantitative measure of the density each seagrass species and all species overall. The

number of shoot bundles for each species of seagrass was counted in the lower left

subsection of the quadrat (12.5 x 12.5 cm area).

Epiphyte Density: Epiphytes are small plants and animals that grow on seagrass blades and

that can limit the photosynthetic ability of their host plants (Borowitzka et al. 2006). High

Page 20: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 19

BREAM: BBP: BZS

epiphyte densities indicate high levels of nutrient availability. The relative density of

epiphytic algae and sessile organisms on the blades was assessed on a 3 point scale:

0 = none, 1 = low density, 2 = high density

Sessile Colonies: Many kinds of sessile invertebrate live in seagrass meadows and may also

be affected by water quality or the overall health of the meadow . The predominant

groups of invertebrates are sponges, tunicates and bryozoans, and the presence of these

groups within each whole quadrat was recorded.

Calcareous Algae: Erect calcareous algae compete with seagrasses. Also since calcareous

algae species are better able to cope with high levels of nutrients than are seagrass species

their abundance may indicate poor water quality. Counts of individual colonies of

calcareous algae of the genera Penicillus, Halimeda and Udotea were counted within

each entire quadrat.

Results

Tier 1 Assessment: Distribution of seagrass across the platform

The platform-wide distribution of seagrass was mapped based on the visual assessment of habitat

boundaries of seagrass beds in the 1997 aerial photomosaic(Figure 8). Seagrass meadows were

apparent across the entire platform, from shallow bays fully enclosed by land out to 10+ m deep

backreef habitats far from shore.

Tier 3 Assessment

Physiographic Setting

Out of a total of 55 sites (Figure 9), 22 sites were located within enclosed waters, and classified

as “Inshore”. 16 sites were within 1 km from shore and classified as “Nearshore”, while 8 sites

were Lagoonal. Nine sites were located “Offshore” on the sandy inner margin of the rim reef that

encircles the lagoon of the Bermuda Platform. Fewer sites were surveyed in Lagoonal and

Offshore areas because Tier 2 assessment indicated that many meadows that were apparent in

1997 in these habitats were no longer in existence in 2004.

assessment effort.

Depth of Sites

The majority of the Tier 3 sites were found in depths of less than 3.2 m (10 ft; Figure 10). These

shallower sites tended to be near shore or in the sediment-filled basins on large reef complexes.

Sites off North Shore and around the outer rim did reach depths greater than 20 ft (7 m). No

seagrass meadows were apparent across the sediment basins that cover large areas of the reef

platform at an average depth of 15 m (40 ft). However, Halophila sp, which does not form

expansive meadows, is often found within these deeper habitats (Murdoch, pers. obs.; Manuel

and Coates 2007). The extent of Halophila across the deeper sediment basins is being assessed

as part of a comprehensive examination of these habitats by co-author S. Manuel and her team

(Dept. Conservation Services).

Physical Disturbances

Blow Outs: Strong currents can cut into the matrix of seagrass meadows and excavate large

crater-like depressions that are commonly referred to as “blow outs”. Blow-outs can also occur

when moorings or anchors disrupt the integrity of the seagrass meadow, allowing currents to

remove sand. The majority of blow-outs in Bermuda occur in what appear to be exposed

meadows where storm-driven currents are highest (Figure 11). Inshore meadows protected by

land on most sides tend to not have blow-outs. The largest blow-outs, in both areal extent and

depth, are found at the western side of the reef platform in the extensive seagrass bed that

extends from the Western Ledge Flats south past Chub Head Beacon. Presumably hurricanes and

large storms generate intense currents in this area that create these impressive erosional features

Figure 11. Location of sites that had blow-outs within the study area.

Dredging

Dredging is the removal of seagrass and sediment with large digging machinery or the propeller

wash of boats. Seagrass meadows near land may be located within shallow bays that require

dredging for boats with deep drafts to enter. Seven of the 55 sites surveyed were recorded as

having been dredged, all at inshore or nearshore locations (Figure 12).

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 25

Seagrass Halos

Parrotfish, sea urchins and other herbivores that eat seagrass tend to be located near coral reefs

during daylight hours, presumably for the protection that is provided. Distinctive “halos” of

clean, bare sand are generally seen surrounding patch reefs that are located within seagrass

meadows, (Figure 13). These halos are created by the grazing activity of the herbivores, which,

in living near the reef, focus their attention on the seagrass closest to their reef refuge from

predators (Ogden and Zieman 1977).

Figure 13. The aerial image of a seagrass meadow above illustrates patch reefs surrounded

by halos of sand created by the grazing activity of herbivores. The image

encompasses an area ~300 m wide.

All nearshore and offshore sites that were near reefs or rocky outcrops typically possessed halos

(Figure 14). Since more reefs occur offshore than nearshore, the majority of halos were seen at

offshore sites. The most extensive areas for halo development were at the western-side of the

reef platform, perhaps due to higher rates of current flow in the area.

Moorings and Mooring Halos

Damage to seagrass meadows caused by boat moorings represents one of the most obvious

sources of anthropogenic disturbance to inshore seagrass meadows. Moorings are located within

enclosed bays in order to protect the boats from the effects of high winds and large waves that

occur in exposed bodies of water. The mooring technology commonly in use in Bermuda utilizes

a large, typically metal, mooring weight that is connected to the boat by a series of chains of

different sizes. A large “ships chain” of 3-4 m (10-15 ft) length connects to the weight.

Connecting the boat to this large ships chain is a longer length of 1/2 “ or 3/8” chain. Under

calm conditions the weight of the ships chain is great enough to maintain the position of the boat

without being moved itself. However, typically the smaller chain abrades a 7-10 m (20-30 ft )

wide circle in the seagrass around the weight and ships chain, resulting in a broad circular

depression devoid of plant life (Figure 15). As the population of boat owners increases in

Bermuda, sheltered bays have become increasingly filled with boats, and at this point only a very

small number of enclosed bays that can support seagrass remain free of moorings and mooring

halos.

In order to obtain an estimate of the extent of mooring damage to seagrass meadows in inshore

habitats, all mooring buoys visible in the BZS aerial photomosaic were mapped into the GIS

database. Figures 16 - 18 show the distribution of mooring locations across Bermuda. Virtually

every enclosed bay and harbour has a very high density of moorings at present. Two particularly

dense congregations of moorings can be seen in Mills Creek and the surrounding bays near the

City of Hamilton, and Riddles Bay and the neighbouring bays in Southampton. Two inshore

areas that remained with a fairly low density of moorings in 2004 are Elys Harbour and the

waters around the Causeway and along Ferry Reach. (See figures below), although the number of

moorings in Elys Harbour has increased dramatically since then.

Propeller Scars

Propellers on motorboats can plow up seagrass and leave a long-lasting trench in seagrass

meadows (Uhrin and Holmquist 2003; Figure 19). These scars can take many years to heal, and,

in high-impact areas, propeller damage can dramatically reduce the structural integrity and

biomass of the meadows.

Figure 19. Propeller scars appear as obvious strips of exposed sand surrounded by

seagrass. Image from: www.gulfmex.org/sites/ 2004/propscars_close_sm.jpg

All seagrass meadows apparent in the BZS aerial photographic mosaic were visually assessed for

the presence of propeller scars. The location and spatial extent of areas showing these scars were

mapped into the GIS database using Arcview (Figure 20). Thirty-three areas, scattered across

the length of Bermuda, were found to contain propeller scars. Since only shallow meadows can

be hit by the propellers of boats, only the more shallow nearshore and inshore seagrass meadows

are affected by this source of damage, while the lagoonal and offshore meadows are too deep to

be hit.

Seagrass Density

During Tier-3 assessments at each site, quadrats were visually assessed for the density of the

seagrass on a four point scale, with 3 representing the highest density and 0 representing no

seagrass present. Each habitat displayed a wide variety of seagrass densities (Figure 21),

although the offshore and lagoonal areas that appeared suitable for seagrass growth were often

bare. Many seagrass meadows in nearshore environments appeared moderately dense.

Figure 21. Map of the density of seagrass at each site. Overall density was assessed following

a 4 point scale:

0: No seagrass present;

1: Sparse seagrass, mostly sand;

2: Moderately dense seagrass, blades between bundles overlap, sand visible;

3: Dense seagrass, blades heavily overlapping, no sand visible.

Seagrass Meadow Height

The overall height or thickness of the seagrass meadows at each survey site were assessed within

each quadrat. Healthy seagrass meadows generally are composed of longer blades than unhealthy

meadows, although healthy meadows that are exposed to high levels of herbivory or strong wave

action may have shorter leaves and thus lower heights. Most seagrass sites surveyed appeared

healthy, with heights in the 15-23 cm category (Figure 22). Two sites had exceptionally long

seagrass blades and thus thick canopy heights, although the reasons for these anomalously long-

bladed meadows was not immediately apparent. One site with very long seagrass blades was in

an enclosed bay that appeared eutrophic, but the other meadow was in an enclosed bay near

Paradise Lake, where nutrient levels are not likely to be high in the groundwater. Sites with fairly

low leaf lengths and meadow thicknesses may be heavily stressed and may experience a

reduction in cover and overall ecological health in the near future. Sites with meadow heights

below 5 cm are extremely stressed or have already experienced a mass-mortality event.

Seagrass Index of Ecological Integrity

By combining the two variables of seagrass density and height one can calculate a metric or

index that indicates the overall ecological health of each site. In the diagram below sites are

colour-coded according to this index (Figure 23), with healthy sites marked in green, dead or

unhealthy meadows in red, and sites that may be experiencing unhealthy conditions in yellow.

These yellow sites may be expected to undergo further decline as time progresses, and thus are

sites that merit additional research into the causes of their decline.

exceptionally unhealthy sites or where seagrass was once present but is now

absent. Yellow sites are classified as possibly undergoing decline. Green sites are

classified as healthy.

Relative Abundance and Shoot Density

The relative abundance of each species of seagrass was assessed for each quadrat in each site on

a ten-point scale (Figure 24). Additionally, the density of short shoots were counted for each

species within quarter-sections of the same quadrats. Both types of data were collected in order

to determine which species were dominant on each seagrass meadow. The figures below

showsthe proportion of each species found at each site based on relative proportion data and

shoot density data. Both types of data display the same overall patterns so only the map based on

the quantitative assessment of shoot counts is displayed (below). Some trends regarding the

distribution of seagrass species can be made from this map as well as the following four maps

that show the relative abundance of each species individually.

The seagrass Thalassia testudinum, or turtle grass, dominates seagrass meadows around Paradise

Lake, the islands of Somerset and Ireland Island, as well as out in the western seagrass meadows

near Chub Head. The manatee grass, Syringodium filiforme is predominant in the Great Sound

near Somerset and along the North Shore. Halodule wrightii (shoal grass) is abundant along the

eastern shores of St. Georges and St. Davids, within the Little Sound, along the reefline near Hog

Bay Park, and in the Western Ledge Flats. Halophilia decipiens was only observed at the mouth

of the bay on the North side of Morgan’s Point, although the species has also been recorded in

other surveys in St. Georges and Castle Harbour as well as in deep sediment-filled areas seaward

of the rim reef on the southwest side of the platform.

Calcareous Algae

Calcareous macroalgae are marine plants that thrive under conditions of enhanced nutrients and

also compete with seagrasses for space. We counted the number of three types of calcareous

macroalgae within quadrats so that we could calculate the average densities of each group in

each surveyed seagrass bed. Higher densities of calcareous macroalgae may indicate higher than

normal levels of nutrients are affecting the seagrass meadows they are found in.

All three groups of calcareous algae exhibit high densities in two general areas near land (Figure

29 A-C). One area of high densities of calcareous algae is near Somerset Long Bay. There is a

cattle and sheep farm in the area, and perhaps this farm is promoting enhanced nutrient levels in

the seagrass meadows near it. The second area of enhanced calcareous algae is along the North

Shore and in the Castle Harbour area. These areas are near high densities of houses or caves, and

perhaps the groundwater in the area has enhanced nutrient levels and is more easily able to flow

to the neighbouring seagrass meadows through caves and channels in the rock.

Epiphytes

Epiphytes are small plants and animals that grow on seagrass blades and can limit the

photosynthetic ability of their host plants. High epiphyte densities indicate high levels of nutrient

availability. The densities of epiphytes were mapped across the Bermuda Platform using a three

point scale (Figure 30). Epiphytes seem to show a similar distribution to that of calcareous algae,

with highest epiphyte loads evident around Somerset Long Bay and the Bailey’s Bay area. The

appearance of enhanced levels of epiphytes in these areas further supports the hypothesis that the

seagrass meadows in these two areas are exposed to high levels of nutrients.

high densities, yellow = moderate densities and green = very low densities of

Overall distribution and condition

Analysis of the GIS map determined that the total area of seagrass meadows found on the

Bermuda platform was ~2100 hectares. Of this total area, 1200 hectares of the meadows were

located inshore or nearshore along the outer edge of the islands. The remaining 900 hectares

were situated farther from shore, either in shallow basins in the centers of large lagoonal patch

reefs or along the sandy, inner edge of the rim reef. Comparison of the 1997 map to previously-

generated maps of Bermuda’s marine habitats, derived from a combination of satellite imagery

data and high-resolution aerial photographs (Vierros 1997, 1999, Vierros et al. 2002), confirmed

that the distribution of seagrass meadows on the platform in 1997 was similar to that in 1988 and

1991.

Comparisons between the Tier 2 and Tier 3 BREAM assessments of 2004 and the habitat maps

created from the 1997 aerial images corroborated the earlier findings of Ward (1999) and Vierros

et al (2002) that the total area of inshore and nearshore seagrass meadows tends to remain

relatively constant, even though the extent of individual meadows varied greatly through time. In

stark contrast, a drastic and large-scale decline in the total area of the offshore meadows located

in the lagoon and around the sandy inner rim of the reef platform was observed. Of a total of

~900 hectares of offshore meadows, ~475 hectares were reduced to sandy areas with dead,

decaying rhizomes or very sparsely distributed, severely-stressed plants of species T. testudinum,

S. filiforme or H. wrightii (Figure 31).

Discussion and Conclusions

In this report we describe the characteristics of seagrass meadows located across a wide range of

habitats over the entire reef platform. What was most apparent at the large scale was that

meadows were subject to a range of environmental and anthropogenic factors regardless of

distance from shore or depth. The most dramatic finding of the assessment was that a substantial

area of offshore and lagoonal seagrass has declined in the past decade. However, there are also

healthy seagrass meadows to be found within the inshore, nearshore, lagoonal and offshore

zones. This indicates that the causes of seagrass health or demise are operating at a scale smaller

than the zone, and that local environmental, biological and anthropogenic factors need to be

monitored on a meadow-by-meadow basis if we are to predict the long-term condition of each

meadow or determine the causes of the declines that have happened in the past 15 years.

It was unexpected that such a large amount of seagrass was lost offshore while little loss

appeared to affect inshore and nearshore meadows. Seventy percent of the seagrass meadows

that have experienced mass-mortality across the globe were affected by human-induced damage,

including coastal development, physical damage, anthropogenic pollutants and fertilizers,

introduced disease, high water temperatures, and anoxic sediments (Kirkman 1985, Short et al.

1987, Robblee et al. 1991, Duarte 2002). These same disturbance agents have been documented

within the inshore and nearshore seagrass meadows of Bermuda, and include anthropogenically-

enhanced nutrients (Morris et al. 1977, Barnes & Bodungen 1978, Bodungen et al. 1982, Jickells

et al 1986, Barnes 1994, McGlathery 1995, Jensen et al. 1998), chemical pollution (Barnes &

Bodungen 1978, Burns et al. 1990, Owen et al. 2002), physical damage by moorings, dredging,

boat propellers (BREAM, unpublished data), and increased sedimentation (Morris et al. 1977,

Barnes and Bodungen 1978, Bodungen et al. 1982, Pitt 1992). In contrast, offshore meadows in

Bermuda have not been exposed to anthropogenic stressors of seagrasses. Sedimentation and

turbidity caused by ship traffic is low (10-20 m, Smith 1998, CARICOMP 2000) as large vessels

rarely use the channel located farther from shore; anchoring and moorings are rare in offshore

meadows; the meadows are too deep to be hit by boats or propellers and are not dredged.

Additionally, water-column concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorous (Morris et al. 1977,

Barnes & Bodungen 1978, Bodungen et al. 1982, Pitt 1992) and of measured pollutants (Burns et

al. 1990, Owen et al. 2002) have been consistently low at sampling sites located over 1 km from

shore.

Page 50: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 49

BREAM: BBP: BZS

While the causes of the decline and the factors preventing re-establishment of the meadows

cannot be determined from the data collected to this time, the broad scope of the mass-mortality

event in Bermuda, and the fact that it only occurred offshore, hints that factors which operate

over large spatial scales may have been involved. The chronically low primary productivity of

Bermuda seagrasses due to cool water temperatures and short day lengths in winter (Pitt 1992,

CARICOMP 1997, 2000, 2004, UNESCO 1998, Linton & Woodley 1998, RS unpublished data),

in addition to high levels of herbivory by parrotfish, turtles and snails (TJTM, PB, BTP pers.

obs.) may have interacted with a switch from a positive to negative condition of the North

Atlantic Oscillation that occurred in 1996 (Hurrell 1995, Visbeck et al. 2001) and that coincided

with colder-than-average seawater temperatures locally (Cohen et al. 2004, Lomas & Bates

2004) to trigger the mass-mortality event. Unfortunately, there is a severe shortage of the

fundamental and critical information needed to provide definitive explanations for both the cause

of the mass-mortality of the offshore seagrass meadows of Bermuda, and why the nearshore

meadows were not affected.

Inshore Zone

Seagrass beds within enclosed harbours and bay are those with which people are most familiar,

and it can be surprising to see how small inshore seagrass meadows are compared to nearshore

and offshore meadows that are rarely experienced by most people in Bermuda. Inshore meadows

face the brunt of anthropogenic disturbances, with chemical and nutrient pollution, boat

moorings, dredging activity and prop scars all having a negative impact. No inshore seagrass

meadow is completely protected from these impacts and some seagrass meadows, such as those

at the Foot of the Lane and in Riddell’s Bay, have been extirpated as a result. Most meadows,

however, have managed to persist despite constant anthropogenic impact, but would presumably

fare better if legal instruments to reduce or eliminate man’s effects were in place.

The most damaging factors to inshore seagrasses seem to be nutrient input from groundwater and

mooring scars. Groundwater is high in nitrogen compounds due to the means that household

sewage is disposed of locally, which is by cess pit. Mitigation of nutrients would therefore

necessitate a country-wide change in this practice and the development and implementation of a

national sewage system involving one of two feasible productions. Sewage could be collected via

a network of pipes under the streets, followed by treatment at a large-scale facility and disposal

Page 51: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 50

BREAM: BBP: BZS

into deeper oceanic waters away from the island. Alternatively, sewage could be treated within a

small treatment plant within each house, with the treated solids collected by a government or

private service, and the purified water either re-used by the home owner or released back into the

groundwater.

Mooring halos are a result of the manner that boat moorings are constructed in Bermuda.

Typically a large weight is placed on the seabed and connected to a surface buoy with a sequence

of chains of decreasing size. Heavy 1” diameter “ship’s chain” is connected directly to the

weight, and generally does most of the work of holding the boat in place and as such does not

move much or damage seagrasses. A smaller 3/8” to 1/2" chain then connects the ships chain to

the mooring float. It is this smaller chain that is dragged in a circle around the weight when a

boat is on the mooring. As the wind changes direction around the compass the boat will point

into the wind and thereby pivot around the weight. This pulls the lighter chain around the

mooring, and it is this action that initially pulverizes the seagrass bed, eventually killing the

seagrass and scouring a depression into the sea floor. New mooring technology, such as the

Halas Environmental Mooring (developed by John Halas, Park Biologist at Key Largo National

Marine Sanctuary, Florida, USA), now exists that is designed differently and which avoids the

creation of haloes of extirpated seagrass around mooring anchor points. In place of a heavy

weight and ground chain, an anchor is embedded into the sand or rubble and a flexible rope

attached which connects directly to the mooring buoy without contacting the sea floor. As

changing from traditional moorings to the newer Halas moorings would probably be

controversial initially, support for the more environmental moorings would have to first come

from Government and the marine insurance community.

Nearshore Zone

Two of the largest contiguous seagrass meadows in Bermuda are found in the nearshore zone.

One of these is a Thalassia-dominated seagrass meadow that extends from Pompano on the

western Southampton shore along the outer coast of Sandys parish all the way to Ireland Island.

A second meadow, dominated by Syringodium, extends from the eastern side of Dockyard,

across to Spanish Point and then along North Shore to Ferry Reach. Since both seagrass

meadows represent expansive resources for juvenile fishes, steps should be taken to ensure their

continued ecological health.

The only nearshore seagrass meadow that has noticeably declined is the one located in the

southern bay at Nonsuch Island. Other seagrass meadows on the north and northeastern side of

Nonsuch Island have also declined, although the reason for their reduction in density is not clear.

Other seagrass meadows are patchy in distribution and change in density through time. The

seagrass meadow near Fort St. Catherine characterizes this type of meadow (Ward 1999).

Lagoonal Zone

Seagrass meadows in the lagoonal zone appear to be the most affected by the large-scale die-off.

Large meadows that were apparent in photographs taken in 1997 of Crescent Reef flats, White

Flats and Ely’s Flats are either completely or predominantly absent now. Lagoonal seagrass

meadows may be more susceptible to decline due to lower rates of nutrient flux relative to

BREAM: BBP: BZS

Page 53: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 52

BREAM: BBP: BZS

seagrass meadows located near the rim, where current speeds are higher, and those located

nearshore and inshore, where current speeds may be low but nutrient concentrations are higher.

Alternatively grazing by turtles may plausibly be higher in the central lagoon if turtles are

capable of detecting and avoiding nearshore boat activity or offshore predation.

Offshore Zone

Extensive seagrass meadows are still to be found on the west side of the Bermuda platform in the

Chub Head region. These meadows are lush and specious and may be protected from wave

action by the geomorphology of the coral reefs within which they are nested. Additional

meadows could be seen in the 1997 aerial image along the inner sandy margin from Chub Cut

northwest to Eastern Blue Cut. These meadows appear to be in decline as of 2004. An additional

large seagrass meadow, also in a state of decay, can be found 500-m east of North Rock, in an

area known as the Conch Grounds.

Protected status as well as mooring buoys to limit anchor damage would be beneficial in

maintaining the Chub Head seagrass meadows. The area is particularly attractive and could well

serve as a marine park for snorkellers and divers, especially if fishing were also limited within

the area.

Conclusions

Most of the research and monitoring of seagrass in Bermuda to this point has focused upon areas

of limited size, and primarily for short periods of time. The unexpected demise of a substantial

proportion of the total area of seagrass across the lagoon indicates the Bermuda region is

probably now affected by processes that encompass much larger spatial scales, highlighting the

need for hierarchically-structured, broad-scale and long-term, multidisciplinary research and

management. Recently, other marine ecosystems in the Caribbean have experienced similarly

drastic increases in the scales over which ecological change have occurred (e.g. Aronson et al

2002, Gardner et al. 2003 ), indicating that the entire Western Atlantic may be experiencing an

unprecedented modification in its ability to sustain marine ecosystems. Locally, the long-term

effect of the loss of 500 hectares of critical marine habitat is a matter of extreme concern and

heightened research focus so as to guide future management.

Site # 2004001 Bailey’s Bay May 21, 2004 Thad Murdoch (TM), Annie Glasspool (AG), Sarah Manuel (SAM), Mark Outerbridge (MO)

General Setting Bailey’s Bay is a bay on the North Shore of Bermuda with multiple openings to the north lagoon. Several boat moorings and a public dock are found at the east end of the bay, while many houses line the shore. The south-western end of the bay is deeper than the northeastern end, and is lined by steep cliffs and possesses several small rocky islands. The bay is exposed to both the gentle SW breezes of summer and the strong winds of winter, although the rocky isles along the northwestern margin provide a measure of protection. The seagrass beds in Bailey’s Bay are patchily distributed. Thalassia, Syringodium and Halodule are all present although the latter two species are only found in small patches while Th is found across the Bay. Halos around the moorings in the NE and several prop scars represent man-caused disturbances in the bay. Large blow-outs are also found, possibly caused by storms and hurricanes. Several blow-outs have steep margins and are possibly growing in size – something worth studying as Tier 2. Additionally the margins of the blow-outs appear to be acting as a refuge for the small green and bucktooth parrotfish that graze the seagrass beds. Would be interesting to see whether the parrotfish grazing is beneficial or deleterious to the seagrass plants. Site location and characteristics We selected a site in the center of the densest part of the largest bed within the entire bay. The site is located roughly half way between the large island (NAME) and the shore. A large blowout is located to the E of the site. Seagrass was short, fairly dense and moderately highly coated in

epiphytes. Juvenile breams, small and medium sized Slippery Dicks and the seagrass-associated parrotfish were the primary fish seen in the bed. Notes Since the survey was the first to be done on the BREAM project we were basically testing how the protocol worked and whether the number of quadrats etc were sufficient to fulfill the needs of the project. AG had left a few artifical reef structures made from chickenwire that she had used to assess fish recruitment. We found one near the middle of the site that is now heavily encrusted in Millipora and acting as a small reef. Near it was found a black frogfish about 5” long. Much excitement about the frogfish and photos were taken etc.

Site # 2004003 Bay near Tom Moore’s Tavern and Walsingham May 27th, 2004 TM, AG, MO

General Setting

This is a small bay located near the bay that Tom Moore’s Tavern sits on. The bay opens to Castle Harbour on its north and east sides and is protected to the south and west by fairly high hills. A line of reefs protects the bay from heavy waves from the east and north. One or two moorings as well as a dredged area near a private dock are found here. A small boat channel runs from the Harbour into TM bay. The seagrass in the bay is all Th, with several blow holes and grazing scars from turtles and parrotfish evident (worth investigating). A cave is located in the extreme southern end of the bay, and emits a stream of cold water, presumably only on the falling tide. Seagrass development near the outflow for the cave is limited, possibly because of temperature stress (WI). Several large tree branches were scattered around the bed, presumably from the last hurricane, but branches did not seem to attract fish or generate halos. Site location and characteristics

The site is located about 10-m south of the dredged area near the private dock in 3 ft of water. This location was selected even though it is at the far southern end of the Walsingham seagrass bed overall as it appeared the densest and possibly the most healthy in the area. Yellow algal epiphytes were prevalent in the northern half of the site but declined in density to the south. A couple of sea cucumber were seen in the bed but not surveyed. Seagrass was very dense but few fish were observed. An unidentified tube worm was fairly prevalent in the SG bed. At the ends of transects closer to the shore seagrass height was diminished and epiphyte load was very low.

BREAM: BBP: BZS

Notes

TM cunningly forgot to bring enough datasheets for 10 transects, but we were able to fit 2 transects worth of data on each datasheet. TM has now modified the datasheets to fit 2 transects on each side of each sheet. Water temp = 77F, not horrible but still not pleasant. Power analysis of the seagrass counts data from Baileys Bay and this bay indicate that 35 quadrats per site may be sufficient to assess the sites instead of the 50 quadrats assessed currently. Analysis of a degraded bed will be done next to see if 35 quadrats is sufficient for degraded beds as well.

June 1, 2004 Tier 1 assessment: 30 sites Paradise Lakes, Point Shares and Hamilton Harbour around to Salt Kettle TM, AG, MO, SAM, JC, Jessica Stella (JS)

Went to survey Paradise Lake and Five Star island but the PL site was totally lacking seagrass. Changed plan and instead did Tier 1 assessments of the presence, SG species presence and general condition of 33 sites that appeared to have seagrass in the 1996 aerials. Data entered into the Excel spreadsheet and copied below. Also need to enter data into Arcview.

1) Paradise Lake, central and southern sides – NO SEAGRASS!!! 2) Nellies Island, NE small bay. Modately dense Thal. No Ser in deeper water although was

there last year 3) Nellies North Side Ser- beds seem to be shrinking substantially. Is there disease here??? 4) South side of Nellies – NO Seagrass but used to be in 1996 at the earliest 5) Eta Island near mouth to Paradise Lake – No SG 6) NW tip of Watson Island – CLADOPHORA 7) To 11) – small patches of thalassia 12) Sparse Ser 13, 14 – NO SG 15 sparse Thal and abundant ECA 16) Thal 17) Key Bay – thick abundant Thalassia as well as Haloduli and Syringodium. Really abundant Casiopia meaning surveying would be difficult 20-21) Point Shares – patchy SG and abundant ECA moorings, dredging etc etc Soncy Bay – sparse and patchy SG

Bethel’s Flat, NE of Bethel’s Island, Ely’s Harbour, Somerset Seagrass:AG, SAM, MO, JS; Fish: JC, XX June 2nd 2004

A large shallow (3 ft depth) seagrass bed dominated by Thalassia, bounded on 2 sides by islands and open on the other 2 sides. The west end is open to the reef platform while the eastern end opens onto Ely’s Harbour. The site is a popular area for dayboaters. A few prop scars are apparent and the bed is exposed to strong winter waves. Fish abundance on the day of assessment was particularily low, although fairly large schools of fish are often seen on the rocks at the western mouth of the bed (TM pers. Obs).

After much discussion we decided to survey the Syringodium bed located on the southern end of the Bay, as it was not impacted by moorings nor by day-boaters. Water clarity was low as the area looked deep but was actually around 8 ft deep. Data analysis indicated the bed was sparse at the western end, but increased in density with proximity to shore.

Riddles Bay Outer TM SAM PMR June 2nd, 2004

Snorkel assessments of the state of the seagrass in 4 bays near Riddle’s Bay and Jew’s Bay were done between 11 am and 1 pm.

(1) was labeled Mitchell’s Bay after one of the neighbourhood land owners. The bay is very small with a hardground reef bounding the northwest side and the rocky shore and 2 docks bounding the western and southern sides. The eastern end opens up onto the body of water between Darrels Island and the Southampton Shore. A small Thalassia bed is located alone a contour following the shore, grading into a Halimeda/Urchin zone in the middle of the bay at around 12 ft. A small amount of trash and a couple of moorings as well as the docks are found in the bay.

(2) Jone’s Bay, named after the Jones family that own the private property to the north. There is a couple of moorings and a dock on the N side, and the Riddle’s Bay golf course bounds the E and S sides, while the W side opens to the Little Sound. A dense Thalassia bed is located in the extreame NE end of the bay, growing in a clean sandy bottom. Several large bream were seen cruising the bed. To the south, taking up the majority of the bay is a hardground reef with high densities of Siderastrea radians and rather large Porites porites colonies (for Bermuda). Also vary abundant are a high diversity of sponges and bivalves and filter feeding gastropods. Interesting site for future research.

(3) “Golf Ball Bay” is a very shallow bay that cuts quite far into the shore. It is bounded on almost all sides by rocky shore and the golf course, and a small island and hardground reef protects the western mouth of the bay. Exceptionally dense Thalassia covers the entire bay, with sparse Syringodium also present, as well as Halimeda etc. Sea urchins are in high abundance, which might make surveys difficult at low tide. A great many

BREAM: BBP: BZS

Page 70: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 69

BREAM: BBP: BZS

golfballs litter the bed, many being carried about by sea urchins. Three fairways abut the bay and is probably why so many golfballs get lost here. The reef outside the bay is covered in Ssid and some Ppor as well as a multitude of sponge and molluscans species as well as a healthy fish population. A site worthy of long-term assessment.

(4) The large seagrass beds that lie between the beach with the 2 wrecks and Five Star island were assessed on snorkel. Syringodium dominates in about 15+ ft with Thalassia dominating in shallower water and in a large bed closer to the island. A couple of conchs were seen as well as healthy calc. alg. beds and many fish, particularly around the rock outcrop between the beach and 5Star. Moderate amounts of trash located along the shore and around the houses south of the island.

Somerset East and Grey’s Bridge Tier 0 Surveys June 2nd 2004 TM, SAM, PMR

(5) Mangrove Bay West side - a large dense Thalassia bed is located within the bay near the public beach and extending north along the shore past the private beaches, as well as to the east past the Somerset Boat Club. Many mooring halos.

(6) A Syringodium bed is located at site 6, which is located about 100 ft east of a private dock and beach. Moderately dense nearer shore but peters out at around 15-20 ft farther from shore.

(7) Gilberts Bay North, a very exposed bay with cliffs and a large seawall/dock along the western shore. 12-20 ft deep. Sparse to Moderate Thalassia coverage and fairly abundant seaurchins (BUCKET SURVEY)

(8) Gilbert’s Bay South, bounded on the west by a beach. Thalassia growing in a dense but very small bed near the beach, and in a sparse, larger bed in about 10 ft of water roughly 50 ft offshore. Wreckage and mooring weights and sparse trash observed. Large boat moored along the shore.

(9) Cavello Bay. The bay is almost completely enclosed with only a fairly small mouth facing SE. Houses and docks surround the bay with a small muddy beach and rocky shore found along the northern side and the large ferry dock located centrally on the western shore. The bay is roughly 8 ft deep. Water clarity was only about 2 ft when surveyed. Bottom silty but with SPARSE Thalassia and CCA. Many moorings and lots of trash.

(10) Boaz Island Public dock. A small bay surrounded by a seawall and dock to the S and W, and rocky shore along the N. Opens to the East. Large amount of trash but still

BREAM: BBP: BZS

Page 72: Sea Grass Report FINAL

Bermuda Seagrass Status Report: 2004 71

able to support a moderately dense Thalassia bed with fair numbers of sea urchins. Not big enough to survey but probably at high risk due to mistreatment.

(11) Greys Bridge South. Bucket survey. Moderate Thalassia, Mod Urchins, some trash

(12) Grey’s Bridge North – moderate thalassia and syringodium (13) Brigade bay – small exposed bay near the old boys brigade building. Very rocky

shore and some shoreline development. Sparse reef development to the north. Moderate Thal and Ser, mod urchins

Aug 20th Drift snorkels to assess reefs and seagrass and search for wrecks with PR

Did 2 drift assessments on snorkel using Feral Cat with Phillipe and 3 interns (Don, Adrian and Meagan). Tied a set of ropes off F-cat including 2 long buoyed lines so that we could snorkel away from the boat while it drifted and not have to swim all the way back to the boat. I videotaped reefs on the first and second transect, also wreck footage on video. Saw several large seagrass beds, isolated pockets of Black-band disease implying it is patchy at the 10m+ scale. Also saw 2 large black grouper and found 2 wrecks on the more SW of the 2 drifts illustrated in photo above. Will have to research Lyndon Devantier’s Manta Tow protocol to see if we can use it to assess coral reefs – as we were able to cover about 1 km per hr. May be fast way to collect data between sites. Note that the seagrass in the above image was still present – although heavily grazed by turtles at times. The seagrass bed in the upper left corner in the large sand hole on the outside of the rim is still there too – perhaps even larger than in the image.

23rd August 2004 – very fast visual assessment of Thalassia beds to determine the extent of the massive seagrass die-off offshore. Only TM and MS, using Gray Dog and only bucket surveys as snorkeling each site took too long.

First checked out area around the stakes and bouys near W. Blue Cut etc. All the seagrass (circled in red above) in this area is either dead and gone, leaving only rhizomes, or very sparse and unhealthy looking. The green circle indicated the location of a boat intentionally sank by Teddy Tucker back before 1984.

The second area surveyed was the large extent of reef between the bouy near Chub Head and the area where Ely’s Flats connect to the rim reef near Chub Cut. The area represents roughly a 5km by 1km complex. Seagrass beds were found to still be dense and healthy looking, but with turtle grazing. Water clarity was not great and there was a lot of ground to cover but overall the region seems still in good shape. Will have to do seagrass surveys throughout this western seagrass habitat, especially since all the seagrass in the Ely’s Flat complex is dying or has died in the past 5-10 years.

The seagrass in the NE part of the Ely’s Flat complex, near the Vixen, is dead and only rhizomes remain.

Sept.8th 2004 TM and MO

Survey mixed seagrass beds west of Elys Flat and North of Chub Head. Named sites Rockfish Shoals North and South (but really is Western Ledge Flats area). The north site was just north of the funny faro west of Ely’s Flat. This bed was heavily grazed by turtles as well as dying from some sort of wasting disease. Bed fairly dense at one end but very sparse at the other. Very heavy Calianassa burrow density and very few fish. Mostly Syringodium at the sparse end but Thal dominant in large areas too. Halophila also present. The southern site was a dense, healthy Thalassia bed located roughly half way between the northern site and the other site north of Chub head. Large halos and storm-generated scouring. Substantial drop off into sand holes. Parrot fish and bite marks abundant. Many “reef” snails and hermit crabs in the sand, as well as many green herbivorous snails on seagrass blades. Corals had spawned earlier in the week and there were planula everywhere, including down in the seagrass looking for settlement sites presumably. Also surveyed Margaret’s Bay nearshore seagrass bed between Elys Harbour and Daniel’s Head. (Mapped on next photo below) This bed is in about 4 ft of water and has heavy epiphytation, but was quite dense. Water clarity low and generally seemed of lower quality. Halos and wash out areas present. Halodule replacing Thalassia in blow outs, also abundant erect cal. Alg. – possible contamination of high nutrient porewater from the many houses on the shore.

BREAM: BBP: BZS

Oct 13 – TM, SAM, MO, AN survey 3 sites in Hamilton Harbour and Paradise lakes. One site in mixed sg near that dock at Burts Island. Inshore there are hundreds of tomtates living in Thal. Healthy although cladophora bed to north seems to be huge and encroaching. 2nd site in Pruddens Bay at J.Pitts old site. Seagrass dense but the bed is shrinking and the bay is very polluted and has cladophora. Seems Clad dying and Dictyota taking over. Urchins. 3rd site at east entrance to Paradise lake, near the shore on Long Island by the cottage. This bed has very long sg, (60 cm!) very hard to survey shoots as they are down in the muck. Lots of pinfish and other fish. No sg grazing to speak of. Water getting cold moorings smack in the middle of the bed. Shame to screw it up. Last sg survey for 2004.
