Ocean Meadows

Long Island Sound Study (LISS) noted in 2009 that waters around Fishers Island sustained over 300 acres (346 to be exact) of Eelgrass.

This marine plant is all important in providing critical habitat for diverse fish species as well as nutrients for migrating water fowl, and has become the focus in conservation and restoration studies.

I have noted the influx of Eelgrass washing ashore this autumn and winter in East Harbor.
