The Nature Conservancy, along with several partners in the Seaside Seagrass Community Restoration Program, is once again gearing up for the largest seagrass restoration project in the world! We are looking for 100 local volunteer snorkelers and water lovers to collect eelgrass seeds offshore of Oyster, VA on the Eastern Shore. For more information visit www.nature.org/seagrassrestoration. Check out the videos and slideshows.  The 2013 schedule is not yet available - look for the schedule to be available in early May.
