The US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) Southern New England Coastal Program in partnership with USGS and the University of Rhode Island Data Center have released a report on efforts to map submerged aquatic vegetation, including eelgrass, in Long Island Sound.
The goals of the 2017 Long Island Sound survey were to: 1) conduct a comprehensive survey of SAV (primarily eelgrass) using similar methods as the previous surveys, and 2) examine broad trends of eelgrass in the Long Island Sound Study area.
