Abstract:

Once upon a time, the shallow waters of Currituck Sound were clear, drinkable, and harbored abundant fish. Thanks to the native submerged seagrasses, ecology in the Sound flourished. Through the years, the quality of Currituck Sound has hinged on the survival of the Sound's seagrass beds, and its ups and downs.
