New seed planting method aims to restore Chesapeake Bay grasses
Maryland and Virginia scientists test a faster seeding approach on the Patuxent River using eelgrass bags with 5,000 seeds each, sourced from Tangier Sound. The project targets 120 acres to recover underwater grassbeds damaged by 2003 nutrient pollution, with germination expected in about a year and potential wider use if successful.
