Taina Litwak DescriptionBay and estuary grass beds are critical to the health of costal waters. Sea grass meadows produce oxygen, absorb excess nitrogen and phosphorus, and provide food and shelter for many species including blue crab and stripped bass. They also hold the loose soils that make up bottom, reducing turbidity and contributing to water clarity.
