Salt Water Helps Back Bay Plant Growth and Bird Food
A six year cooperative study by the Virginia and North Carolina Game Commissions and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finds salt water up to 10 percent sea strength aids waterfowl food sources by clearing silt and boosting sunlight for aquatic plants. Optimal plant growth appears at 10 to 15 percent, while largemouth bass reproduction declines above 10 percent. Higher salinities kill plants above 35 percent and fish above 40 percent. controlled dispersion would require further hydrologist and engineer study.
