Action Id HW-7
Action Restore seagrass beds within the SJBE
Schedule Long-term
Status In Progress
Update Update January 2010:  As part of developing the Benthic Index of the SJBE, seagrasses expert, David A.  Tomasko, found new seagrass beds in the Torrecilla Lagoon area in the summer of 2009. We plan to continue with this inventory in 2009-2010 as part of the development of water quality indicators for our Program.

Previous update:  Areas within the SJBE historically associated with seagrasses were documented and the actual health conditions and growth rate assessed.  A pilot restoration and planting project and a seagrass survey was conductedthe Condado Lagoon in 2007. This CCMP action was incorporated in the 13th year workplan.  The SJBE is focusing efforts in enhancing the estuary's water quality.  The Parnertship is also supporting proposals for filling artificial depressions in the San José, Corozos, and Condado Lagoons, as well as in the Suárez Canal.
