Grasses growing again in the bay, researchers say
Annapolis, Md - The Chesapeake Bay's ecologically important underwater grass beds gained 7 percent last year to cover 78,260 acres, according to the Chesapeake Bay Program office in Annapolis, Md.
The gain is good news for the bay, said Robert Orth, a Virginia Institute of Marine Science biologist who leads an annual census of the bay's submerged aquatic vegetation.
