  • Some of the restored aquatic grass that comes back every year in front of Three Sisters Spring. The name of this grass is rockstar eelgrass and it is planted by Sea and Shoreline with approval from USFWS at the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. This approach has been quite sucessful in areas with a lot of light and tidal flow. There are grasses coming back every year now where there has not been any seagrass for years. Manatees consume the grass but it re-grows.
