Scheidt is handing each plot of seagrass to another Florida Oceanographic Society member in the water, who then uses bamboo skewers to stake each one into the sediment. 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
