World Seagrass Day
Marine science students kayaked and observed seagrass communities on World Seagrass Day. It was windy so the Indian River Lagoon was turbid and the shallows were the only clear water around! Students were able to identify shoal grass Halodule wrightii which is a pioneer species of disturbed areas and inhabits areas that are too shallow for other seagrass species. Students observed gastropods, dolphins and crustaceans and then removed debris from the seagrass beds to improve the health of the IRL.
