Description

Recent news reports of state and federal agencies taking the extraordinary step of providing supplemental feeding to starving wild manatees point to a larger problem, the decline of vital seagrass beds due to runoff, coastal development, and dredging. Seagrass not only supplies nourishment to turtles and manatees, it is also used by countless aquatic species as a nursery and habitat. Beau Williams of Aquaticus Plants and Aquatech Eco Consultants discusses their efforts to sustainably source seagrass products for zoos, aquariums and rehabilitation facilities, as well as, efforts to protect and restore historical seagrass beds.  Animal Care Software KONG Zoo Zoo Logic ZOOmility
