Coastal Days: Seagrass research with Florida Oceanographic Society
Since 2009, the Indian River Lagoon along Florida’s east coast has lost about 58% of its seagrasses, foundational habitat for the 150-mile Estuary of National Significance.
Without that essential seagrass, the treasured lagoon faces a challenging future, but restoring the grass is a lot more complicated than just replanting it.
Learn more about Florida Oceanographic Society’s hard work to restore seagrass habitat and water quality in our latest episode of Coastal Days.

#HBTARPON PHOTO CONTEST
This year, we want to see your tarpon pictures. Not just the trophy shots. We want it all. The pre-dawn boat launches, long open runs, looks of elation mixed with sunburn and exhaustion. The fly-tying, gear-organizing preparation shots, the boat-side celebratory shots, the mid-flight head-shaking jump shots. We want to see everything that makes tarpon fishing the great chase that it is.
WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
More free time on your hands than usual? Daydreaming about fishing but can’t get on the water? Here’s a list of shows that are sure to help pass the time.
