Through the Pensacola and Perdido Bay Estuary Program’s Collaborative Science to Assess Restoration Success (C-STARS) project, our team has been investigating the relationship between living shorelines and seagrasses. At one site, Project GreenShores (PGS), a large-scale living shoreline site in downtown Pensacola, 2 different species of seagrasses (Halodule wrightii and Ruppia maritima) have been confirmed, but not mapped.

Rocky Bayou Aquatic Preserve is one of Florida’s smallest aquatic preserves, but that doesn’t diminish its diverse population of a variety of large fish and additional aquatic species.

Sincerely,

Paige Plier
