Saving The Gulf : Education, Restoration, Conservation Submerged aquatic vegetation

"In the shallow waters of Mobile Bay, underwater grasses sway in the aquatic breeze of the current. These grasses, also known as submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), are vascular plants that grow completely underwater. The environmental benefits provided by SAV are outlined in this manual. The manual offers ways for students and volunteers to become involved in restoring and protecting grass beds. Step-by-step instructions are given for participants to take measurements from natural and restored beds in order to learn about the essential benefits they provide to the coastal environment"--National Sea Grant Library publication website.
