Abstract

Longterm monitoring of eelgrass Zostera marina L beds in the central subtidal portion of the Great Bay Estuary showed declines at both transplanted sites and reference beds Eelgrass beds transplanted as mitigation for habitat loss from port development reached comparable functions eg primary production canopy structure to natural reference sites by the late 1990s within 6 years of transplanting Data from 2001 to the present show significant declines in eelgrass parameters biomass shoot density canopy height leaf area at all sites suggesting that these declines are the result of an estuarywide factorWe thank the UNH Seagrass Lab for comments on the manuscript and C Short for editing Thanks also to A Novak C Ochieng T Evans J Gaeckle K Matso and R Davis for their work on the NHPA project and other UNH students who participated in the field and laboratory work Funding was provided by the New Hampshire Port Authority and the University of New Hampshire Jackson Estuarine Laboratory contribution number 474
