In Baja California, seagrasses are found along the rocky coast (<em>Phyllospadix sp., <\/em>surf grass) and inside estuaries (<em>Zostera marina, <\/em>eelgrass). Resilient ecosystems can withstand environmental change and disturbance, and seagrass systems are indicators of near-shore marine health. However, seagrasses are threatened by coastal development. Research has shown that coastal human development has a strong negative effect on tropical seagrass diversity and abundance. In the arid regions of Baja California, Mexico, where there is less rainfall and potentially less runoff than the tropics, <em>are seagrasses more resilient to impacts from land use along the coastlines<\/em>?. Collaboration between the University of Arizona and Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Baja California will build the capacities on students to train field and lab assistants in estuaries and rocky intertidal sites in Baja California under the mentorship of expertise in the topic. This project will create a monitoring program to enhance our understanding of ecological processes, environmental adaptive capacity (resilience), management, and conservation. This long-term monitoring program will help us understand <em>Phyllospadix sp.<\/em> and <em>Zostera<\/em> coastal beds along the coastline of northern Baja California.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-478b8c8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"478b8c8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-869e801\" data-id=\"869e801\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99f2588 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"99f2588\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_Final-Report.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Seagrass Report<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a48e14e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a48e14e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/nextgensd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_1-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19166\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextgensd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nextgensd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nextgensd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nextgensd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_1.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca2469a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ca2469a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/nextgensd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_5-1024x771.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19169\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextgensd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_5-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nextgensd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_5-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nextgensd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_5-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nextgensd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Collab-17-18_3_Seagrass_5.jpg 1124w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The purpose of this project was to continue research in seagrass habitat in northern BC, Mexico that asked the question, \u201care we able to monitor and assess the effects of coastal development on seagrass habitat in an under-studied arid region\u201d?
