Environmental Impact Research Program. A Low-Cost Transplanting Technique for Shoalgrass (Halodule wrightii) and Manatee Grass (Syringodium filiforme).

摘要

A simplified, low-cost transplanting technique has been developed for seagrasses, Halodule wrightii and Syringodium filiforme, for use in high- and low-current regimes. The method makes use of mature, vegetative shoots, free of sediment and anchored to the substrate. The technique accounts for selection of planting stock, species growth rate, and depth of planting site for estimating the design, labor, and material requirements of a transplant. Examples are provided to illustrate use of the tables and formulas for computing the necessary requirements. Originator-supplied keywords include: Cost evaluation, and Sediment stabilization.
