Heatmap showing the economic benefit per trip corresponding to the current value of seagrass coverage in Western Port (red displays >$50 grading to <$1 AUD per trip in blue). These values were derived by valuing the amount of seagrass in fishing blocks across the bay with the costs of travel and time taken to get to a location in the corresponding blocks by recreational fishers. The blocks have been clipped to the current seagrass extents. Areas in black are Marine Protected Areas where no fishing is allowed. |
