Kelp, eelgrass, and other aquatic vegetation provide vital habitat for many protected and native marine species. NOAA Fisheries Service is joining The Pew Charitable Trusts, the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, and other partners to identify and share the latest and most effective tools, science, and practices for assessing the #ecological value of submerged aquatic vegetation in #nearshore habitats.This will help ensure that protected and managed species, from #salmon to groundfish to #shellfish, have the healthy habitat they need to thrive, even in the face of #climatechange.
