Sea Grass Restoration Project. Lorae Simpson, director of research and conservation with the Florida Oceanographic Society, gathers plots of seagrass as her team prepares to plant them in the Banana River - one of three bodies of water that make up the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) - at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 29, 2023. Kennedys Environmental Management Branch is working to plant a minimum of 28,000 shoots of seagrass divided into 18 sites across three areas at the Florida spaceport as part of a pilot project for seagrass restoration efforts. The project will look at the feasibility of replanting seagrass in Kennedy waters and, if successful, could lead to the spaceport becoming a donor site where shoots of grass can be broken off and relocated to other areas within Kennedy or along the IRL to promote growth.
