Jen Motley (left), a doctoral student in Oregon State University's Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, and Nina Mauney, an undergraduate from the University of Virginia, count eelgrass and algae in Netarts Bay on June 28, 2017, as part of an Oregon Sea Grant-funded research project. Under the guidance of OSU's Fiona Tomas Nash, they're studying how aquatic herbivores such as sea slugs and isopods might help prevent eelgrass from being snuffed out by algae.
