Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Abundance (1984-2024) ^‍‍

Factors such as adverse weather conditions, water clarity and security restrictions over military air space have prevented researchers from collecting aerial imagery. For these unmapped areas, estimates of SAV acreage are based on the prior year’s survey. Data was not collected in 1988. See how these data are used in the Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Outcome.
