Brunswick will soon take steps to restore an important keystone species in its coastal waters through a recently awarded $223,000 grant. According to the Maine Department of Marine Resources, Maine eelgrass meadows provide an important role for food production in the ocean, serve as shelter for juvenile fish and invertebrates and help protect against shoreline erosion. Awarded through the Maine Natural Resource Conservation Program, the grant requires no match and was unanimously approved by the Brunswick Town Council on Monday.
