Underwater grasses, also known as submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), are a critical nursery habitat for many aquatic creatures and help to improve water quality. These underwater meadows are one of North Carolina's most valuable, and fragile, aquatic resources. APNEP works to protect SAV from water quality and disturbance issues that threaten it.
Water quality is essential to the health of the Albemarle-Pamlico estuarine system. APNEP provides funds to monitor water quality to define and address the pressing water quality issues in our region.
