To make accurate assessments of seagrass biomass and productivity, a model is needed to describe acoustic propagation through the seagrass meadow that includes the effects of gas contained within the seagrass leaves. Acoustic monitoring techniques exploit the sensitivity of underwater sound to bubbles, which are produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis and present within the seagrass tissue. Seagrasses play an important role in coastal ecosystems and serve as important marine carbon stores.
