??20 years of environmental stewardship and counting! Ohio Clean Marinas was launched in partnership with Ohio Sea Grant in 2004 to help marinas meet regulations and keep waterways clean. Acting as an environmental education and technical assistance program, the program translates science, laws and regulations into a comprehensive guidebook and checklist. Among numerous initiatives, Ohio Clean Marinas has facilitated the recycling of 80,000 to 100,000 pounds of plastic each year—over 2.5 million pounds since the program began! ??

Did you know oysters begin life without a shell? This free-swimming larval stage allows oysters to settle and grow into the shelled oysters found at restaurants.?? UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant's Shellfish Research Lab is working with farms and restaurants to both support the local oyster industry and ensure the long-term health of the Georgia coastline. Learn how these combined efforts foster a community where oysters support life in and out of the water: https://lnkd.in/eATwzTxm More at: https://lnkd.in/exgPgtQK #DYK #SeaGrant #Aquaculture #Oysters #SustainableSeafood #Seafood #Industry #Coastal #Communities #CoastlineHealth

??Is the seagrass greener on St. Patrick’s Day? Volunteers at Eyes on Seagrass, a Florida Sea Grant project that brings together volunteers and scientists to monitor seagrasses, might think so! Healthy and thriving seagrasses are vital to coastal ecology and the economy. Seagrasses enhance water quality, stabilize shorelines and act as a food source and habitat for many important fishery species.???? Learn how volunteer efforts help scientists get a better picture of the health of seagrasses and help communities make more informed decisions about how seagrasses are managed: https://lnkd.in/eXd6bnJ6 More at: https://lnkd.in/eafrxyGB #Green #StPatricksDay #SeaGrant #Extension #Research #Seagrass #Coast #Science #Ecology #BlueEconomy #SeaGrantCommSci
