🌿 BayLand staff were out this week mapping extensive Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) at Fort Smallwood Park in Pasadena. BayLand is studying the impact our offshore breakwater design has on open-water habitat. This stretch of the Patapsco has never had documented SAV beds and is now home to three native species, including Redhead Grass (Potamogeton perfoliatus), Wild Celery (Vallisneria americana), and Horned Pondweed (Zannichellia palustris).
