Eelgrass - it's out-of-sight, out-of-mind to most of us. But the underwater plant is vital to the health of cod, shrimp and, well, eels. Researchers in the Gros Morne region are studying how healthy eelgrass helps the planet
b"Eelgrass grows on the seabed, 40 metres under the water. it's home to numerous species of fish and other creatures, and it helps the planet's marine ecosystem. Researchers in Gros Morne will be learning a whole lot more about eelgrass over the next three years. The Atlantic Healthy Oceans Initiative and the Ecology Action Centre are doing the work, along with Grenfell Campus, Memorial University. CBC producer Hillary Johnson reached two people involved with the project."
