Divers Aid in Eelgrass Restoration Efforts: Diving with a Purpose
Divers on Long Island are helping restore Eelgrass populations by collecting seeds from local beds. Eelgrass is important because it supports marine life, produces oxygen, and protects coastlines. Volunteers dive to gather the seeds, which will be nurtured until they can be replanted in degraded areas. This grassroots effort depends on local divers working together for a common goal: to plant one million seeds across ten acres by 2025. By participating in these dives, divers can contribute to the health of the ocean ecosystem.
