Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries
Seagrass
Protection/Restoration
Category: Submerged
Cost: $50,000
Description: Impacts from recreational boating activities have
been highlighted in the Coastal Bend Bays Plan as an issue of concern. During
fiscal year 1999, the Coastal Bend Bays Estuaries Program convened several
meetings with various stakeholder groups to identify potential demonstration
projects that would address this concern. Despite the stated goal of the project,
most of the funds for the on-going projects are being utilized for seagrass
restoration and very little are being directed for education and outreach.
Outcome: Has not been completed as yet.
