Feasibility of Transplantation, Revegetation, and Restoration of Eelgrass in San Diego Bay, California.

Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of several methods of eelgrass (Zostera marine L.) transplantation, restoration, and revegetation in San Diego Bay, California. A literature survey was conducted and current state-of-the-art eelgrass transplant methodologies are presented. Two transplant methods are recommended; however, since neither of these has been tested in a large-scale field program, a preliminary pilot transplant study is also recommended. Transplantation costs for each method have been estimated and are also presented.
