How grows the eelgrass?
At the May 14th Harbor Commission meeting, Chris Miller reported on a CRM contract modification to help document eelgrass (*.pdf – 1.82MB) beds in the harbor. Better technology led to the discovery (*.pdf – 1.29MB) that there is less eelgrass in the channels than previously reported by the Army Corps of Engineers. Investigation into eelgrass proliferation helps establish a baseline for eelgrass management and mitigation going forward, a key component of the HAMP. You can learn more about the HAMP here. We always appreciate your continuing support and valued opinions.
