Mapping Water Quality Parameters and Thalassia Occurrence in Eastern Santa Rosa Sound

Abstract
The Florida Sea Grant partnered with UWF and volunteers to perform their annual seagrass survey of the Pensacola Bay system, including western Santa Rosa Sound (Caffrey, 2024). Their findings indicated that Choctawhatchee Bay does not have Thalassia testudinum, commonly known as Turtle Grass, present. T. testudinum is a vital nursery habitat for Argopecten irradians, the Bay Scallop. A. irradians has faced population declines that began sometime around the 1960s. Identifying the growth limiting parameters of T. testudinum in Choctawhatchee Bay can be useful for restoration efforts of A. irradians population.
