The River Kidz checked out a favorite spot in the southern IRL today. We were all thrilled to see signs of recovery! 🌱

We reported this sighting to the Eyes on Seagrass project with and you can too! Check out your favorite spot (in participating counties) and report on their online form, it’s quick and easy. Even if you dont find seagrass, that’s important information for the project to collect! Happy exploring! 🤿
