Coastal seagrass disappearing as quickly as coral reefs and rainforests
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison, Tim Carruthers
Findings from the first comprehensive global survey of coastal seagrass ecosystems are nothing to cheer about. Fifty-eight percent of seagrass meadows are declining, according to an international team of scientists who compiled data from 215 studies and 1,800 observations of seagrass habitat beginning in 1879. Since that year, 29 percent of seagrass ecosystems have vanished entirely.

Bountiful Bay Grasses? (Audio)
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison
It seems like every month there are new report cards, barometers and checkups on the health of the Chesapeake Bay. But there's really only one way to tell if the bay is getting cleaner: if life is thriving. That seems to be the case at least for aquatic grasses in the bay. A recent study found that bay grasses have made a comeback in some spots. Lee Karrh, a scientist with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and Dr. Bill Dennison, vice president for science application at the University of Maryland's Center for Environmental Science, talk with us about the resurgence of bay grasses.
