Seagrass and black swan grazing interactions

Black swans (Cygnus atratus) regularly graze on seagrasses such as Ruppia and Halophila. This project aims to determine:

  • What type of estuarine habitats are important for black swans?
  • Is seagrass an important food source for black swans?
  • The effect of human disturbance on seagrass and black swan grazing interactions.
