Eelgrass is the rainforest of the coast. A perennial flowering plant, it adds structural complexity and promotes sediment stability in our waters. A 2017 study to assess eelgrass loss in Duxbury, Kingston and Plymouth Bays included aerial mapping of growth, field work and a look at the trends leading up to the loss. Learn more about the decline and recommendations to encourage future growth.
