Detailed surveys of eelgrass beds are also being completed by walking and snorkeling at low tides. More work is planned throughout the summer to better understand conditions and species within the estuary.

A boat will be in the bay removing debris from the ocean floor to a dumpster and excavator located at the Cattle Point Park parking lot.
Thank you so much for your patience as we get this work done!

On low tide days, you may see some eelgrass beds exposed. If you are out during low tide, exploring the eelgrass meadows, tread carefully! If you are with a group, spread out to avoid creating a path.

Just like other plants, eelgrass produce oxygen and absorb carbon through photosynthesis, which is why they are most often found nearshore, in protected, shallow waters.
