Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Reproductive Ecology
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chesapeake Bay Field Office
March 6 - 7, 2007



Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) experts both from within and outside the watershed exchanged a wealth of research and
experiential findings regarding the reproductive ecology of Chesapeake Bay SAV species and its application to restoration
science. Presentation and discussion sessions generated substantial information for a forthcoming proceedings
document, while also revealing many areas of continuing research needs.
