Underwater Grass (SAV) Planting

During the morning session, roughly twenty volunteers planted underwater grasses or Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) in Marshy Creek after performing an inventory of native SAV by kayak. They planted 66 SAV trays of Wild Celery (Vallisneria Americana) grown previosly in tanks in twenty-two NOAA offices. This occured just before lunch break during low tide.
