• Eelgrass provides a refuge from predators for some fish species.
• The meadows of eelgrass found in lagoons along the Atlantic seacoast have a long history of providing a habitat for fish and invertebrates of many species. Despite this long history, it has proven difficult to document and quantify the relationships between eelgrass cover and the abundance of fish and crabs on a larger scale. ...

• Scientists from Battelle's Marine Sciences Lab in Sequim say they are managing to replace large eelgrass beds that were damaged by the reconstruction of a Washington State Ferries dock at Clinton on south Whidbey Island.
• In a project that has cost about $300,000 so far, Battelle scientists and University of Washington School of Fisheries researchers started studying the Clinton dock's surrounding eelgrass beds about two years before dock reconstruction work began in 1999.
• The total additional construction cost of measures aimed at preserving eelgrass: $9 million.
• The results so far: The project has actually expanded the underwater eelgrass beds around the ferry dock by about 50 percent, according to a Battelle report. The transplanted areas appear to be thickening well and filling with undersea life, making the Clinton project the largest and most successful eelgrass replacement project on record.
• But as simple as it may sound, transplanting eelgrass is still a daunting and expensive challenge and, aside from the work done at Clinton, not much is known about it, said Dr. ...

• But no one paid much attention to Puget Sound eelgrass, or to its place in the ecosystem, until about 15 years ago, mostly because it's an unassuming-looking plant that grows low in the intertidal zone, where it's inaccessible and hard to survey.
• Consequently, no one really knows how much eelgrass has disappeared from Puget Sound waters over the past 100 years, Thom said. ...
