Camden Marine ecologist Katie DuBois will lead a presentation, “Saving Maine’s Seagrass Meadows,” in an online webinar offered by Merryspring Nature Center Tuesday, April 20 at noon.
Historically, over 35,000 acres of seagrass meadows lined the Maine coastline. These marine meadows not only boost the health of coastal ecosystems but also have enormous positive impacts on Maine fisheries.
But Maine seagrass meadows have been disappearing for the last several decades. In this program, DuBois will speak about why seagrasses are important, what is causing the decline of Maine seagrasses, and possible ways to restore this ecosystem.
