Eelgrass meadows can protect the marinearchaeological heritage in the seafloor against erosion. The project delivers a detailed mapping of eelgrass around marinearchaelogical locations at Tybrind Vig and nekselø based on drone and ortophotos. Both data types show considerable cover of eelgrass in both areas, though with some variation between years. Drone images provide the most detailed quantification of the vegetation and was supported by field data, which markedly increase the certainty of the analysis. The project further shows clear overlap between the potential distribution of eelgrass and known marine archaeological heritage at national scale and that the potential distribution model for eelgrass is therefore also of relevance from a marine archaeological perspective.
