World Prodigy Grounding - Narragansett Bay Eelgrass Restoration
World Prodigy Grounding - Narragansett Bay Eelgrass Restoration
To compensate for injuries during the World Prodigy oil spill, eelgrass (Zostera marina) was transplanted at a number of sites throughout the Bay. Eelgrass is a prominent habitat throughout the Bay that has been in decline in recent years. Restoration is aimed at increasing this important fisheries habitat.
