Seagrass
Although low in number, projects involving the restoration of seagrass
exist. One experimental seagrass project has been conducted in Massachusetts,
while several seagrass restoration projects have been conducted in New
Hampshire’s Great Bay Estuary. Additional projects have been conducted
in Buzzards Bay and Narragansett Bay; however, they lie just outside
the Gulf of Maine watershed. Techniques for transplanting and seeding
seagrass are becoming more refined, and additional seagrass restoration
projects and projects aimed at improving water quality will be necessary
to compensate for historical losses.
