- Abstract
The study was conducted to investigate the effect of macro algea on the productivity of two seagrass species at Negombo lagoon. Macroalgal proliferation on seagrass beds were a result of nutrient loading to the water column and cause reduction of light availability which is one propose mechanism of seagrass bed decline. Clear inverse relationship is observed with the % cover of seagrass and algae. Increased macroalgal blooms in the 70- 100m away from the shore could reduce available PPDF ...
