Kings Bay Restoration Project Save Crystal River The kings bay restoration project is comprehensive. we remove the detrital materials from the riverbed, replant by hand with eelgrass and maintain restoration of kings bay and the precious ecosystem. Short, sweet, and straight to the point. their goal was to save crystal river, and that is exactly what they did. they set their sights on kings bay, aka the crystal river national wildlife refuge. an invasive algea had choked out all the healthy vegetation and left the bay desolate of marine life. why is seagrass important?.
Kings Bay Restoration Project Save Crystal River Led by the non profit organization save crystal river and aquatic restoration firm sea & shoreline, the project, initiated in 2015, began with a clear mission to combat the invasive lyngbya algae and restore the bay’s natural ecosystem. Kbrp has restored 108 acres of our outstanding florida waterway via vacuum removal of algae detrital material (lyngbya), then planting submerged aquatic vegetation (sav), which was once abundant in kings bay. With the help of biologists from sea & shoreline and the support of community volunteers and students, our work follows a clear three step process: remove invasive muck, replant native eelgrass and open spring vents to restore natural water flow. King’s bay restoration project sea & shoreline, llc and save crystal river, inc. partnered to remove over 92 acres of lyngbya and detrital material that had accumulated within residential canals located near kings bay in crystal river, florida.
