Fishers Island is one of the last remaining places where Eelgrass (Zostera marina) thrives in New York waters.
Once found in every harbor, creek and cove on the East Coast, this critically important species is now only found in cool, clear and often wave-swept waters like those surrounding Fishers Island. The underwater photos highlight the various growth habits for this species from different sites around Fishers Island.
