The Eel-Grass Situation On The Atlantic Coast

BY Harrison F. Lewis. Chic! Federal Migratory Bird Oilicer, 011mm Hid Quebec, National Parks or Canada, Department of the Interior.

Bel-Brass (Zostera marina L.) is a flowering plant. belonging to the Pond-weed tarnily, that grows in salt or brackish water along most sheltered shores of the sea in the middle north temperate zone, from about half-tide to a. depth o! a. few feetybelow low-tide mark. On the Atlantic coast of North Amerhea it rangu along the shore from south- ern Labrador to North Carolina, with outlying stations in Hudson Bay and on the west coast of Greenland. Where the inter-tidal zone includes extensive suitable flats. as it does in many shallow bays, harbours, and estuaries on the eastern coast of Canada and the United States, this plant is ot- ten found growing in dense masses over large areas. It is often two to four feet long above ground, with long narrow, ribbon-like leaves. Be- neath the surface of the soil each plant has a rootstock, about 3-16 of an inch in diameter and several inches long, furnished with numer- ous short roots. Eel-grass reproduc- es both by seeds and by vegetatve propagation, which involves the production of lateral buds that eventually become separated from the parent stem by death and ab- jointing of the older part of the rootstock. A plant grown from seed does not flower and produce seed until the second or third year. The rootstocks or rhizomes oi eel-grass form a very important

River, nor on the north shore of the Gui! of St. Lawrence, nor along the coast of Newfoundland. so that the northern boundary of the sea of scarcity would seem to have been situated. in Septem‘ last, across the Gui! oi St. Lawrence, with its western extrcnfty just south of the Bale de Chaleur and its eastern extremity just north of Nova Scotia.

Tidal fists that I have recently examined in the affected areas on the Atlantic coast of North America, where eel-grass ordinarily grows in enormous quantities, now show in most cases only a few scattered plants. most of which are s’ckly and evidently dying. In some places great mats of interlaced dead root- stocks may yet be found, black and brittle, in the mud and sand of the bottom, in other places such root- siocks are not ‘discoverable and have presumably decayed and dis- integrated. The living plants that remain are chiefly to be found near the shore, although in some areas some also occur, scattered singly or in small groups, at some distance from dry land. At points. such as estuaries, or the immediate vicinity of the mouth o1 brooks in sheltered places, where the sea- water is markedly diluted by fresh water, there still exist dense stands

food of Canada Geese and Brant, and the seeds are eaten to a large extent by Black Ducks and go some extent by other_ species oi’ ducks. When in waters supplied with eel- grass, Erant feed upon it almost exclusively and Canada Geese rely upim it to a large extent. Eel-grass rootstocks constitute, under normal conditions, the‘ essential iood supply o! several thousand Canada Geese that customarily winter in south- western Nova Sootia, as well as oi large numbers of both Geese and Brant wintering on the eastern coast, of the United States.

The leaves and stems o! eel-grass, when thoroughly dried are quite widely used in industry, especially for insulation and sound-proofing for buildings and for upholstering fumlture. Under normal conditions thousands of tons of this plant are gathered annually in eastern can- ada and United States for these industrial purposes. A great deal 0f eel-grass is also ilscd locally by farmers near the shore for fertilizer and ‘or banking the foundations of houses ld other buildings in cold weather.

Unprecedented Scan-city

At the present time there is a notable and unprecedented scarcity oi living eel-gass on the coastsbf Nova Scotla, Prince Edward Island. and all or New Brunswick except the extreme north, and arsimilar scarcity is reported from the cast- crn sea-coast of the United States. from Maine southward at least t0 Virginia. Scarcity of this plant in areas where it is usually abundant is lmown to extend as far north on the eastern shore of New Bruns-

rhumberland County, which is no th of the estuary of the Miramichi River. In September, i932. I per- sonally observed this scarcity p3 Tabusintnc, bu; on the same cia

failed to iiud any evidence of uny usual scarcity at Caraquet, which it

ern side of the Bale de Chaleu. Such a scarcity of eel-grass h

wick as Tabusintac Lagoon, Nor--

a little farther north, on the souihi-i

of eel-grass that is apparently n01”- mal and healthy, but such eel-

.grass beds are strictly limited in

extent by the limits oi’ the marked dilution of the sea-water. The gen- eral character of the scarcity of an area such as Nova Sootla is in- dicated by the fact that a firm that usually ships 1500 tons of eel- grass annually from that province to Boston has not been able to ob- tain a single ton this year.

New Growth at Buctouche

In some places, as at Buctouche. New Brunswick, a few small scat- tered eel-grass plants that are ap- parently young and prrfeotly healthy are to be found on flat-i where all the original dense stand of eel-grass has died. ,

In south-western Nov Scotla. from Port Joli, Queens County, to Argyle, Yarmouth County- ma“? extensive tidal flats, some of which are known to have been neatly bare of eel-grass about June 1st, 1932. showed in late September of this year large areas covered with fl- falrly dense growth of young cel- grass plants, with leaves five or siX inches long. These plants look green and normal when viewed from a little distance, as from ihe shore, but on close examination show signs of an unhealthy condi-

planis elsewhere. This makes ii»

of young plants, which has been the biisis for popular r990?“ W" the eel-grass is “coming back” in this area, will somi, ill its turn suf- fer severe reduction in numbers. Eeel-grass plants that are crying in the regions whefe this scarcity exists shew black areas of consider- able size on the leaves, at first near iheir tips, subsequcrliiy nearer the leaf-bases. Eventually ouch lcui. with accompanying disintegration, is progressive from/rho lip to the base. so that leaves whose proxim-

l

al portions are still green and liv- ing while their distal portions are entirely missing are fzcquently ob- served. The extreme bast- of the leaf may rema'n green for some
