Critical Habitat: Mapping Eel Grass within the Wekiva Wild and Scenic River System

This project mapped submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the Wekiva Wild and Scenic River System. It assessed current conditions to protect wildlife and habitat, particularly for manatees, turtles, and bluenose shiners. The data collected on SAV expansion or decline provided critical information for future river management and the health of the Wekiva River System.
