Abstract
Pacific Watershed Associates (PWA) under GHD assisted the Humboldt Bay Rowing Association (HBRA) with eelgrass (Zostera marina) mitigation efforts during the 2012 eelgrass growing season. Eelgrass mitigation transplanting was conducted at the HBRA floating dock in Eureka, California on July 18 and 19, 2012, using the bundled bare root transplanting method (Merkel, 2004). A post-mitigation eelgrass survey was then conducted on August 1, 2012 to confirm the initial success of the transplanting effort by mapping the areal extent and turion density of transplanted eelgrass in the project area.
