"Eelgrass (Zostera marina) supports diverse and productive ecosystems in the coastal zone, and is at threat from a variety of human activities. Warming seawater temperatures, changing storm patterns, and altered dynamics of freshwater and nutrient run-off associated with climate change have already impacted eelgrass communities worldwide, and are expected to continue to do so into the future. In this report we characterize the physical environment at 10 eelgrass sites along the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia to provide a documentation of the range of environmental conditions under which eelgrass occurs in this region, and set the stage for the development of empirical relationships between physical conditions and eelgrass ecosystem status"--Abstract, page iv.
