SeagrassLI: Amazing Seedling Recruitment in a Natural Meadow

http://seagrassli.blogspot.com/2012/05/amazing-seedling-recruitment-in-natural.html

Thursday, May 24, 2012. Amazing Seedling Recruitment in a Natural Meadow. However, what I wasn't prepared to find were the incredible number of seedlings. In my nearly 20 years of diving in eelgrass I have never seen so many seedlings in one area except for possibly several years ago when a meadow in at Noyack Creek in the Peconic Estuary recruited from seed after loss all of the adult shoots the previous year (these seedlings all eventually died that summer and the meadow was lost). Created by seagrass ...

Thursday, November 19, 2009. Rock Planting 101…. Rock planting is a simple and effective way of establishing eelgrass in high energy rocky environments. It all starts with selecting the perfect site…Once you have that, you’re half way there! Obviously, it is not always easy to find these sites and that is the real challenge. I couldn’t possibly cover all that goes into the site selection process in a blog post, so I won’t even try. We’ll just assume for now that you have such a site. Work yesterday off of.

SeagrassLI: Working in the fog!

http://seagrassli.blogspot.com/2009/08/working-in-fog.html

Wednesday, August 5, 2009. Working in the fog! We had big plans for field work yesterday including test plantings on the north side of Plum Island, but it wasn't to be. After this second dive we decided to call it a day and head back to the lab to get some other work done. Hopefully, later this week we can return and complete our scouting.

SeagrassLI: Spring Fauna

http://seagrassli.blogspot.com/2010/07/spring-fauna.html

Thursday, July 1, 2010. Now that summer is here, I thought it would make an opportune time to mention our more interesting animal encounters from this spring. When attempting to visit our planting site on the south side of. On the same day and then again at both sites one week later. Once again, we couldn’t get in at. As the seals were way too numerous and getting a little too close for comfort, but Chris decided to get in at. Which I find hysterical. For more photos, please visit us on Facebook. I am cu...

Our project partner at UCONN, Dr. Jamie Vaudrey. The plants that we used to establish these test plots were produced as part of one of our volunteer " Marine Meadows.
