Seagrass and Sonar: Mapping Underwater Gardens

BioSonics and Project Seagrass are helping us understand and preserve some of the world's most vital resources. Critical Habitat Seagrasses are submerged flowering plants with bright green leaves found in shallow, coastal waters worldwide. Seagrass often grows in large, dense meadows that serve as some of world's most valuable and productive marine habitats. Seagrass meadows support vast biodiversity by providing food, nursery areas, and protection for 1000s of marine species

Shedding New Light on Eelgrass Recovery - Article Available Online at Salish Sea Currents

Salish Sea Currents is a new online magazine featuring the latest science from the 2014 Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference. Scientists say eelgrass, an unassuming flowering plant found just off shore in Puget Sound, is vital to the health of the ecosystem. They also say the plant is declining. New and increasingly urgent efforts to restore it brought a group of researchers to the 2014 Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference. Read the entire article by Katie Harrington here Eelgrass asse

BioSonics Introduces Automated Monitoring Systems for 316(b) Compliance

Is Your Company Ready for 316b? BioSonics provides cost-effective monitoring solutions for 316(b) entrainment and impingement monitoring at cooling-water intake structures. Thousands of industrial facilities use large volumes of cooling water from lakes, rivers, or oceans to cool their plants. Cooling water intake structures pull large numbers of fish and shellfish into a cooling system where the organisms may be killed or injured by heat, stress, or chemicals. Larger organi
