Presenter s: Marcus Beck and Gary Raulerson, TBEP
Wednesday, 19 May 2021
10:00 – 11:00 AM PT | 1:
00 – 2:00 PM ET
Marcus Beck an d Gary Raulerson will provide an overview of the environmental history of T ampa Bay through the lens of seagrass management and showcase the open scie nce tools to evaluate the region’s seagrass data. These tools provide an op en, transparent, and reproducible approach to evaluating the nearly 30 year s of Tampa Bay seagrass data. The presentation will include a live demonstr ation of the Tampa Bay Seagrass Transect Dash board developed using the tbeptools and shiny R packages. The das hboard provides access to the seagrass transect database including maps, gr aphs, data download and an extensive set of interactive tools for exploring the rich information in this dataset. The SAV Mapping/Monitoring Community of Practice invites you to j oin us for a discussion of open science data analysis and the tools used to create this website. We also encourage you to join our Discou rse forum to learn more about best practices in monitoring seagra ss ecosystems.
