EP 404: This Will Destroy 219 MILLION POUNDS of Seagrass By Year End!

from Salt Strong Fishing

Seagrass has been called "the liver" of the saltwater estuaries. It's critical for so many species to grow and thrive, not to mention, it helps stabilize the sea bottom, provides food and habitat for other marine organisms, and helps maintain water quality. Sadly, the beloved manatee has been caught in the middle of this as manatees eat 100 pounds of seagrass per day (some adult manatees eating as much as 200 pounds of seagrass per day). Listen in as we discuss the issues the manatee is facing along with some potential solutions.
