2018 was a great year for the VIMS seagrass restoration program, with an estimated harvest of 11.2 million eelgrass seeds! This number is one of the highest we have had in the history of our program. @VIMS_News

Just finished our annual bay scallop survey in the seagrass beds of the Virginia coastal bays. It was a great effort by the whole crew! Here are a few photos.
