Threats to Habitat

Habitats Affected: SAV, wetlands

Impacts

• SAV can be physically damaged by boat propellers (recurrent damage and long recovery period), anchors, jet skis.

• Sediment resuspension from boat wakes in shallow waters can reduce water clarity for SAV and erode wetland shorelines.
