In the Grass, On the Reef
Learning to Build a Salt Marsh with Grasses in Classes
Clip: Season 6 | 5m 40sVideo has Closed Captions
Schoolchildren take to Choctawhatchee Bay for a day of sun, fun, and coastal restoration.
The Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance and AmeriCorps start with a premise to foster appreciation for coastal ecosystems like oyster reefs, seagrass beds, and salt marshes. They go into the schools, but go beyond lesson plans and worksheets. These kids grow smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), the foundation species of a coastal salt marsh, in their classrooms. Then plant it in Choctawhatchee Bay.
