A great day for Florida’s extraordinary #seagrass meadows and the wonderful #biodiversity that thrives there in the new #NatureCoast Aquatic Preserve.
BREAKING: Florida just approved an extensive plan for conserving 700 sq. miles of vital coastal habitat—home to mangrove islands, salt marshes, oysters, sponges, corals, and more than 350,000 acres of seagrass. pew.org/3ZOPtKG

Seagrass can be a catalyst for collaborative conservation! Great plenary discussion bringing together scientists, resource managers, and NGO’s at #isbw14 @seagrads @pewenvironment @LedaSea123 @StacyScientist
Sediment tubes can restore seagrass prop scars in the #NatureCoast without needing expensive planting or caging! Ask Dr. Savanna Barry how at #isbw14 @seagrads @pewenvironment
Great day fishing and scalloping on the new #NatureCoast Aquatic Preserve w/ 4th generation Capt. William Toney. Proud to be a part of this 455000 acre designation to conserve FL’s 2nd largest #seagrass meadow! – at Homosassa Springs, FL

Excited and honored to be a part #isbw14!
Healthy seagrass hosts manatees, turtles, and other Gulf of Mexico wildlife that support jobs, tourism, fishing, wildlife viewing and more. How wildlife and economies benefit from these underwater meadows. #isbw14 pew.org/3vwd3hh
