Eelgrass Seed Gluing Volunteer Opportunity
Event registration is now closed.
Clinton, CT
Join our Soundkeeper team and coalition partners for hands-on eelgrass restoration! Eelgrass plays a crucial role in marine ecosystems by providing habitat for fish and shellfish. It improves water quality by filtering out excess nutrients, reduces erosion by stabilizing the seabed, and sequesters carbon, helping to combat climate change.
Help us restore eelgrass beds through the SEAS method (Seeds of Eelgrass Attached to Shellfish) in areas of the Sound where it once flourished! This approach employs biomimicry, allowing clams to help bury eelgrass seeds in the seafloor. To ensure their successful deployment in the wild, thousands of eelgrass seeds will need to be carefully glued to live clam shells. Register here.
