A multi-authored scientific paper from the submerged aquatic vegetation synthesis (SAV SYN) effort was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. In addition, The Conversation published an article about the synthesis effort. The results of this study provided a causal link between the nutrient reductions in the Chesapeake region and the resurgence of aquatic grasses. The results were widely reported, augmented by a visit to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
