Calling all Seagrass lovers!?! (That’s YOU)

Here’s another great way to make a difference.

We think you’ve got the right set of eyes to help the University of Florida monitor seagrass during this month’s Eyes on Seagrass Blitz! (May 1-31)
Whether you’re kayaking, boating, or just on a walk, here’s your chance to contribute valuable data to support lagoon health.

Have you been out on the water lately? Your photos of the seafloor, whether you see seagrass or not, help scientists better understand where seagrass is growing and where it may be missing.

  • Boating, kayaking, snorkeling, or fishing
  • Take a clear photo of the seafloor
  • Share your observations with the project

Submitting a sighting is easy:

  • Use the ArcGIS Survey123 app or visit the online form
  • Make sure location services are turned on
  • Submit a clear photo so seagrass can be verified

Report your sightings at bit.ly/ReportSeaGrass.

Full instructions and a seagrass ID guide are available here.

The blitz runs May 1–31, so every observation counts. Thank you for helping protect and understand the Indian River Lagoon.
