First Nations peoples in the Port Curtis Coral Coast region from Port Alma to Burrum Heads are looking after Sea Country and nurturing the land so it can be there for the next generation to protect and care for. Seagrass meadows here are important for dugong and turtle, juvenile fish, and ‘Blue Carbon’. Climate change and rising sea temperature threatens seagrass and therefore the health of First Nations’ Sea Country. Temperature in shallow inshore habitats is affected by tidal variation and meteorological conditions and are not well estimated with existing spatial environmental data. The aim of this project is to measure and model the risk of thermal stress in intertidal seagrass habitats. Gidarjil Land and Sea Rangers alongside researchers deployed temperature loggers across a gradient of tidal exposure ranging from frequently drying to rarely or never drying. Temperature in these intertidal habitats varied by up to 20°C within a day and the variability was generally the highest inshore, near to mangroves. The data collected will be used to develop a model of thermal risk in intertidal inshore habitats. This will help Gidarjil Land and Sea Rangers who are on the forefront of seagrass restoration, monitoring and conservation.
