Seagrass surveys guide permit bids for lagoon work
DEA inspectors checked for seagrass in May 1984 before permit issuance. As part of the permit process DWA submitted on-site surveys with soil borings showing no seagrass. Submerged seagrass beds transplanted in the lagoon in the last 1 to 12 years may be destroyed by dredging. DWU must monitor, but officials could not confirm exact locations before press deadline.
