2/28/2019 Stocking Savvy and Beautiful Ponds Awarded Grant by Charlotte Harbor National Estuary ProgramRead NowStocking Savvy and Beautiful Ponds have been awarded a grant for a joint project on Multimodal Biological Control by the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program. This grant will go to fund algae sampling in freshwater lakes as well as support research into how the use of native species of fish, invertebrates, and plants can help reduce hypereutrophication. Hypereutrophication is when a water body has extremely high amounts of nutrients usually making it uninhabitable by many species due to constant algae blooms and pollution. Parts of the grant will also help reduce invasive species spread and coverage which has been a large problem in habitat restoration as these species reduce habitat quality and can push out native species. If you are interested in volunteering on a habitat restoration project such as native plantings, fish stocking, research, or invasive species removals alongside experts in the field please contact us today through out online contact portal at https://www.stockingsavvy.com/contact.html we are amassing a group of volunteers to help fight back against Red Tide, Climate Change, and other environmental issues.
Stay tuned for updates on when the project will begin Spring 2019! For more information on the programs that support us please check out https://www.chnep.org/

If you can use this grant to further help the environment, then that would make me even happier.

Especially often, such thoughts arise among car owners who are forced to stand idle in traffic jams for a long time, while light and compact scooters quickly and easily get to their homes
