Went down to Back Bay yesterday. The eelgrass in the trough isn't thriving, but it's still alive. Amanda and sometimes interns will head down to Back Bay daily to clean algae off of the eelgrass. Cleaning the algae off of the eelgrass is a monotonous job, but has to be done in order for the eelgrass to survive.
The trough (seen in the picture) has a pretty wide range of aquatic life living among the eelgrass including sponges, scallops, crabs, anemones, and more.

Although the inside tanks are still being monitored, all of the eelgrass is pretty much dead. We're looking into a problem with the amount of light being used, and will try again once that problem is fixed.
