Eel Grass Habitat is of a primary concern in protecting the quality of the Narragansett Bay. Although it is hard to see where these habiats occur in the image above, the numbers show that there is a substantial amount on the property. These areas contain tidal emergent/unconsolidated and persistent, regulary and irregulary flooded, eel grass habitat.
