Sea grasses beds suppported stone crab, spiny lobster, shrimp, yellowtail snapper, gray snapper, and blue crab to live their life safely and healthy.
Threat to Seagrasses
Propellers have scarred virtually every seagrass bed, seagrasses can be damaged by light, moderate and heavy scarring. When a boats propeller hits seagrass, its fragments the seagrass bed. This can severly restrict the movement of animals living in needed habitat, leaving barren areas where fish and other critters once flourished.
