Our teams are on the cutting edge of research when it comes to Halodule wrightii, the primary species used for seagrass restoration in the lagoon. While Halodule wrightii is historically one of the most abundant species in the lagoon, its reproductive capabilities and life cycle are not fully understood.

We’re incredibly thankful for all the moments of impact that our Restore Our Shores team has had this year. Help our team make even more of a difference in 2026 by making a donation.

These important man-made shorelines are built with natural materials and reinstate native plants populations to help stabilize the shoreline, reduce erosion, buffer against storm surge and improve water quality.
