Study Site Selection
We conducted our study across eight discrete seagrass meadows (hereafter
referred to as landscapes) located in Back Sound, North Carolina (NC), USA
(3442\\u2032 N to 3439\\u2032 N, 7637\\u2032 W to 7631\\u2032 W) (Fig. S1). All of
our sampled landscapes were composed of a mixture of Back Sound's dominant
seagrasses: eelgrass and shoal grass, Halodule wrightii (Ascherson 1868)
(Yeager et al. 2016). Landscapes were chosen based upon available aerial
imagery in Google Earth Pro as of February 19, 2017, and ground-truthed for
changes in seasonal seagrass growth/senescence using summer, 2017, drone
photography and ImageJ 1.x (Schneider et al. 2012). No discernable differences
in landscape fragmentation states (e.g. total area, number of patches) were
found between the two aerial imagery sources. All landscapes were relatively
shallow (1-1.5 m depth at high tide), reasonably isolated from other seagrass
beds (distance to nearest seagrass meadow = 112 17 m [mean standard error])
and were appropriately sized to encompass short-term (e.g., daily, monthly)
movements of common seagrass-associated fauna in this system (Yeager et al.
2016). We identified similarly sized landscapes (25882 6592 m2) available in
Back Sound by defining the minimum convex polygon surrounding the seagrass
meadow, regardless of the total seagrass cover within the polygon. Among eight
candidate landscapes of similar size, we defined four continuous landscapes
and four fragmented landscapes based on the number of patches, the perimeter-
to-area ratio, and the largest patch's percent cover of the total seagrass
area (Table 1). Seagrass fragmentation is often naturally coupled with habitat
loss (Wilcove et al. 1986), resulting in the mean seagrass area of our
fragmented landscapes being nearly half that of our continuous landscapes
(Table 1). Thus, our experiment was designed to examine the effects of
fragmentation (i.e., the breaking apart of habitat concomitant with habitat
loss) rather than fragmentation per se (i.e., the breaking apart of habitat
without habitat loss; sensu Fahrig 2003).
Squidpop Assays
Squidpops were also used to measure relative \"depredation\" across landscapes
(acknowledging that a combination of predation and scavenging may account for
observed loss patterns). Squidpops are 1-cm 1-cm squares of dried squid mantle
tied to 1-cm segments of 12-lbs test monofilament (Duffy et al. 2015). We
attached squidpops to 60-cm long, 0.5-cm diameter, fiberglass stakes. Twenty
squidpops were deployed (stakes pushed 50 cm into the sediment to prevent
squidpop tangling in seagrass or burial in sediment) within each of the eight
landscapes per assay date during July and August (July 5, July 13, July 26,
August 8, and August 30). Within each landscape, 10 squidpops were haphazardly
placed within seagrass edges, defined as 30 cm (a crab tether length) from the
seagrass-mudflat interface. The other 10 squidpops were haphazardly placed in
seagrass interiors, defined as \\u22651 m from the seagrass-mudflat interface.
Only patches with a radius of 1 m or larger were used for squidpops classified
as 'interior'. However, patches with a radius of <1 m were used for a portion
of our 'edge' squidpops. All squidpops were placed at least 1 m apart. A total
of 720 squidpops were deployed (Table S1). Squidpop depredation assays did not
occur in June due to lack of dried squid availability. During the first two
squidpop deployment cycles we checked squidpop status (present, absent/eaten)
at 1 h and 24 h. We observed nearly 100% squidpop removal by 24 h, so for the
remaining three deployment cycles we performed status checks at 1 h and 2 h.
Point measurements of water temperature (C) were taken in each landscape at
the location and time of all squidpop assays hand-held thermometers (Table
S1). We chose temperature as our seasonality proxy (Fig. S2) because several
other seasonally affected factors including faunal densities correlate with
water temperature variability. Additionally, the measurement of temperature is
easy, cheap, reliable, and comparable to previous studies.

"Amount and quality of habitat is thought to be of fundamental importance to maintaining coastal marine ecosystems. This research will use large-scale field experiments to help understand how and why fish populations respond to fragmentation of seagrass habitats. The question is complex because increased fragmentation in seagrass beds decreases the amount and also the configuration of the habitat (one patch splits into many, patches become further apart, the amount of edge increases, etc). Previous work by the investigators in natural seagrass meadows provided evidence that fragmentation interacts with amount of habitat to influence the community dynamics of fishes in coastal marine landscapes. Specifically, fragmentation had no effect when the habitat was large, but had a negative effect when habitat was smaller. In this study, the investigators will build artificial seagrass habitat to use in a series of manipulative field experiments at an ambitious scale. The results will provide new, more specific information about how coastal fish community dynamics are affected by changes in overall amount and fragmentation of seagrass habitat, in concert with factors such as disturbance, larval dispersal, and wave energy. The project will support two early-career investigators, inform habitat conservation strategies for coastal management, and provide training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students. The investigators plan to target students from underrepresented groups for the research opportunities.
Building on previous research in seagrass environments, this research will conduct a series of field experiments approach at novel, yet relevant scales, to test how habitat area and fragmentation affect fish diversity and productivity. Specifically, 15 by 15-m seagrass beds will be created using artificial seagrass units (ASUs) that control for within-patch-level (~1-10 m2) factors such as shoot density and length. The investigators will employ ASUs to manipulate total habitat area and the degree of fragmentation within seagrass beds in a temperate estuary in North Carolina. In year one, response of the fishes that colonize these landscapes will be measured as abundance, biomass, community structure, as well as taxonomic and functional diversity. Targeted ASU removals will then follow to determine species-specific responses to habitat disturbance. In year two, the landscape array and sampling regime will be doubled, and half of the landscapes will be seeded with post-larval fish of low dispersal ability to test whether pre- or post-recruitment processes drive landscape-scale patterns. In year three, the role of wave exposure (a natural driver of seagrass fragmentation) in mediating fish community response to landscape configuration will be tested by deploying ASU meadows across low and high energy environments.";

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
selection constraints.
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
