Eelgrass, or Zostera marina, is one of—60 species of seagrass found across the globe, and the most common seagrass in Long Island Sound. A flowering plant found in coastal waters less than 24 feet deep, eelgrass grows in dense colonies called meadows—critically important habitats that need our help, for it is estimated that 90%of the historic extent of eelgrass in Long Island Sound has been lost. Luckily,there are many things you can do to protect our eelgrass resources,especially here on Fishers Island,which is surrounded by roughly 350 acres of eelgrass, making up 25%of all the seagrass remaining in Long Island Sound.

Let's work together to save our seagrass! Why is seagrass so important? ® E C E n n Water Quality �Uf - Eelgrass beds can absorb excess nutrients from runoff and natural sources MAR 12 2021 -This improves water quality and clarity,and prevents algal blooms Stronger,More Stable Beaches Southold Town -The network of eelgrass roots traps sediments, allowing sediment to accumulate o °a d Trustees than circulate in the water,again improving water quality -Sediment accretion dampens wave action on the shores, preventing erosion and providing storm surge protection, keeping our sandy beaches beautiful Critical Habitat -Eelgrass meadows provide nursery grounds, adult habitat,and food sources for a variety of fish, shellfish, birds, and invertebrates -There may be up to 40x more animals in a seagrass meadow than in bare sand - Many commercially and recreationally important species spend at least a portion of their life cycle in eelgrass beds Carbon Sinks -Seagrasses are the 2nd most efficient ecosystem for capturing and storing carbon in the world (sources: original study; article 1; article 2); by some estimates,one hectare of seagrass can store the same amount of carbon as 40 hectares of dry-land forest! -Through photosynthesis,seagrass meadows absorb carbon dioxide (CO2)or carbonic acid from ocean water and return oxygen to the water column.They don't just remove carbon from water,though;they also prevent carbon from being released by decaying organic matter. By trapping dead plant material in the oxygen-depleted seabed,where it decomposes much slower than on land,seagrasses help to stabilize carbon -Given these properties,maintaining or even expanding seagrasses'footprint to historic levels could prove crucial in combatting climate change and creating a livable future for all of us Help Us Preserve Our Seagrass Meadows: Be a Better Boater! There are many things boaters can do to help protect this important marine resource: Plan it Out Check the weather,tides,and navigational maps before heading out on the water. Be aware of eelgrass beds before going to a specific area.Wear polarized sunglasses to help see eelgrass patches from your boat. Steer Clear Navigate through marked channels whenever possible. Trim it Up If travelling over an eelgrass bed,slow down and trim up your engine to prevent scarring. In very shallow water or if you run aground, bring the engine up and push the boat out of the eelgrass. Watch Your Anchor Before anchoring your boat, look around for eelgrass. If you are in a meadow,find an alternate area to anchor,or use a public dock or conservation mooring to tie up. Use conservation moorings when available;they cause less damage to benthic habitats. Here are some species that live in the eelgrass around Fishers Island!: 1. Striped Bass Monroe saxatilis 2.
