This drone photo was taken during one of our recent Texas seagrass surveys in the Laguna Madre, just south of Corpus Christi. We were in about 3.5 feet of water here! Needless to say, it was a really clear day! Texas seagrass beds provide beneficial nursery and foraging habitat for some of our favorite inshore species. Six species are common within the Gulf of Mexico, five of these six species can be found along the Texas coast. Those species are shoal grass (Halodule wrightii), turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum), manatee grass (Syringodium filiforme), widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima), and star grass (Halophila engelmannii). . #bocachicabaits #seagrass #dronephotography #estuarineresearch #ccatexas #redfishdistrict #drumspots #texasfishing #fisheries #gulflife #thetugisthedrug #yaktribe #saltlife #skinnywaterculture #flatsclass #skifflife #conservation #protectouroceans #bayoucity #nolivebaitneeded #ccanational #kayakfishing #yakgear #dronestagram #fishingislife #coastal #costadelmar #thumpthump #marinebiology #research (at Corpus Christi, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnEydwnHkWn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m0gg7l4uuqss
