This project is a retrospective assessment of seagrass restoration efforts over the past several decades in Coos Bay and Yaquina Bay, Oregon. Researchers will evaluate diversity, abundance, and performance metrics of species at restoration sites in these estuaries and compare those metrics to natural seagrass and nearshore nursery habitats to assess restoration effectiveness. This project also includes a dynamic hands on education and outreach component with local partners. Sponsor: Oregon State University
