SAV stands for submerged aquatic vegetation, more commonly referred to as underwater bay grasses. More than 16 species of underwater bay grasses grow in the shallow waters of the Bay and its tributaries. Besides serving as a food source for waterfowl, bay grasses also provide habitat and protection for blue crabs, young finfish and other small invertebrates.
