This is a good introduction. I would like to get more information in this format. I am sure there are great volumes of information about the Bay marine grasses and other aquatic vegetation. Could you provide links here also? Could you show how these issues tie to the various maryland state agencies and how the federal agencies are involved? Inquiring minds want to know. Thank you for producing this video. It is a good first step.
