Apparent threats to the spatial distribution of seagrass in San Quintín Bay prompted us to make a detailed assessment of habitats in the bay. Six coastal habitats and three seagrass subclasses were delineated using airborne digital multispectral videography (DMSV). Eelgrass, Zostera marina, was the...

| description | Apparent threats to the spatial distribution of seagrass in San Quintín Bay prompted us to make a detailed assessment of habitats in the bay. Six coastal habitats and three seagrass subclasses were delineated using airborne digital multispectral videography (DMSV). Eelgrass, Zostera marina, was the predominant seagrass and covered 40% (1949 ha) of the areal extent of the bay in 1999. Eelgrass grew over a wide range of tidal depths from about –3.0 m mean lower low water (MLLW) to about 1.0 m MLLW, but greatest spatial extent occurred in intertidal areas –0.6 m to 1.0 m MLLW. Exposed-continuous (i.e., high density) eelgrass was the most abundant habitat in the bay. Widgeongrass, Ruppia maritima, was the only other seagrass present and covered 3% (136 ha) of the areal extent of the entire bay. Widgeongrass grew in single species stands in the upper intertidal (≥ 0.4 MLLW) and intermixed with eelgrass at lower tidal depths.

Dada la existencia de aparentes amenazas para la distribución espacial del pasto marino, se llevó a cabo una evaluación detallada de los hábitats de Bahía San Quintín. Se delimitaron seis hábitats costeros y se identificaron tres subclases de pasto marino usando videografía multiespectral digital (DMSV) aérea. El pasto Zostera marina fue el predominante, cubriendo en 1999 el 40% (1949 ha) de la extensión superficial de la bahía. Zostera marina crecía sobre un amplio rango de profundidades de marea desde –3.0 m del nivel medio inferior de bajamar (MLLW) hasta cerca de 1.0 m del MLLW, pero su mayor extensión superficial ocurrió en la zona entre mareas de –0.6 m a 1.0 m MLLW. De todos los hábitats de la bahía, los mantos continuos (i.e. de gran densidad) de Z. marina expuesta fueron los más abundantes. El único otro pasto marino presente fue Ruppia maritima, que cubría el 3% (136 ha) de la extensión superficial total de la bahía. Este pasto se encontraba creciendo en mantos monoespecíficos en la intermareal superior (≥ 0.4 MLLW), e intercalado con Z. marina a bajas profundidades de marea. La precisión global de las 6 clases de hábitat y de las 3 subclases en el mapa de DMSV fue relativamente alta en un 84%. El mapa detallado obtenido para Bahía San Quintín puede ser utilizado para detectar cambios futuros y dar seguimiento al estado de salud de los pastos marinos en la bahía. |
