The Ecology Hour: Dr. Katheryn Beheshti on Eelgrass in Coastal Estuaries

January 11, 2022--Hosts Tim Bray and Bob Spies interview Dr. Katheryn Beheshti, recently of the Ocean Protection Council and now Research Assitant with the University of California, Santa Barbara. If you kayak the coastal estuaries of the Albion River or Big River you may notice patches of Eelgrass growing under the water. Dr. Baheshti explains what Eelgrass is, how it's adapted for life under salt water, and why it's a key component of the nearshore marine ecosystem.
