Retrieved leaf area index (LAI) and derived above-ground carbon from Saint Joseph Bay, Saint George Sound, and Keaton Beach. Results are shown for ${\text{LAI}}_{(\text{ELH})}$ and${\text{LAI}}_{(\text{DOS})}$. Statistics are calculated from all pixels classified as seagrass with LAI greater than 0 m² m⁻² in each raster.
