The current distribution of spp. seagrass meadows along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast was studied. We used a combination of historical and recent observations of the habitat along the studied coastline. Remote sensing data (satellite images, sonar side-scans) was groundtruthed with georeferenced drop camera observations, scuba diving sampling and georeferenced scuba diving photo and video transects.
Тhe total area of the habitat type 'MB548 - Black Sea seagrass meadows on lower infralittoral sands' (EUNIS habitat type list 2019) in the study area is 916.9 ha, of which only 17.9 ha are in man-made sheltered environments (harbours). All seagrass meadows identified in 1978-79 were also located during the current survey, despite the increased eutrophication pressure and overall degradation of benthic habitats in the western Black Sea during the 1980s and early 1990s.
对保加利亚黑海沿岸海草草甸的当前分布情况进行了研究。我们结合了对研究海岸线沿线栖息地的历史观测和近期观测。利用地理参考的投落式相机观测、水肺潜水采样以及地理参考的水肺潜水照片和视频样带对遥感数据(卫星图像、声呐侧扫)进行了实地验证。
研究区域内“MB548 - 低亚潮带沙地的黑海海草草甸”(2019年欧洲环境信息与观测网络栖息地类型列表)这一栖息地类型的总面积为916.9公顷,其中仅有17.9公顷位于人工遮蔽环境(港口)中。尽管在20世纪80年代和90年代初黑海西部富营养化压力增加且底栖生境总体退化,但在1978 - 1979年确定的所有海草草甸在本次调查中也都被找到了。
