Why or why not? Where are other potential restoration sites in Narragansett Bay?Presentation: Presentation Context Current Transplant Evaluation Site Selection Parameters Methodology and Results for Each Parameter General ConclusionsStudy Area and Species: Study Area and Species Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA Zostera marina East Passage West Passage Sakonnet River Greenwich Bay Mount Hope Bay Providence River Why is eelgrass important?: Why is eelgrass important?
