Underwater grasses in the Susquehanna Flats
Staff from Maryland Department of Natural Resources use the Susquehanna Flats near Havre de Grace, Md., as a classroom while leading a workshop to learn how to identify and monitor various species of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) that live in the Chesapeake Bay on July 25, 2016. A healthy patch of underwater grasses provides food and habitat for animals like fish and crabs, reduces shoreline erosion, and improves water quality by slowing the current and helping sediment filter out of the water column.
