Certain projects on submerged lands required SAV surveys to determine seagrass and macro-algae coverage, density, and diversity. These studies are used to design projects to avoid/minimize impacts to these habitats or plan mitigation to offset impacts. They are a necessary part of permitting structures that occur over or near water, such as seawalls, bulkheads, docks, and historical buildings. Pale Blue Dot Staff are trained to dive, snorkel, and perform seagrass, macro-algae, and benthic surveys to accurately document conditions below the water line.
