SAV Restoration Newsletter
Bay Grass Restoration newsletter synthesizes underwater bay grass restoration techniques, success, and recommendations.
Bay Grass Restoration in Chesapeake Bay
A new science newsletter synthesizing underwater bay grass restoration techniques, success, and recommendations in the Chesapeake Bay is now available. This newsletter is the product of two workshops organized by the Integration and Application Network for the 'SAV Restoration Workgroup', with funding by Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The workshops were held in April 2004 and March 2005, with participants from UMCES, Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MD DNR), Virginia Institute of Marine Science, US Geological Survey, and National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration Chesapeake Bay Office. The workshops discussed the status of MD DNR’s restoration targeting model, and determined the different bay grass habitats within the Bay. As part of this effort, the IAN website also hosts a webpage to facilitate discussion of the community diagrams produced as part of the workshop. The findings presented in the newsletter can also be discussed on the IAN forum. IAN newsletters are available as PDFs from our website, or you can order printed copies for your organization on the IAN newsletters page.

The Integration & Application Network is an initiative of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
