Zostera marina is a seagrass species, commonly known as eelgrass, that is found on both coasts of the United States, as well as in Europe. Unfortunately, Zostera is disappearing all over the place, including right here in New York. This could have devastating impacts on animals that rely on eelgrass as foraging grounds, or, as is the case with scallops, use it as a refuge from predation. This is its story, as seen through the eyes of an aspiring graduate student...

Long time!

Well it has been quite some time since I last updated my blog... The field season was winding down, and I have just been busy with other things... Helping release scallops for overwintering, doing some dive surveys, and helping with the eelgrass restoration guys at SCMELC... So, I have been pretty busy... I have also been working up some data from this summer, which I intend to present some of the research at the National Shellfish Association meeting and the Benthic Ecology Meeting, both in Providence in April, so I am working up the rest of the data now that the field season is over... Once I make some sense with the data I will put some nice figures up here so you can see what I am working on...
