Seagrass Planting Guidelines for the Pacific, Gulf, and Atlantic Coasts

Abstract

Increasing usage of coastal areas by man has often resulted in loss of wetland habitat due to construction, recreation, harbor and channel maintenance, and pollution. Among such displaced habitats are beds of submerged aquatic vegetation, or seagrass. Restoration of seagrass for sediment stabilization and habitat enhancement is now possible through application of recently developed low-cost planting methodology.
