• Protecting a wide shoreline buffer of vegetation to filter pollutants, such as fertilizers and surface water flowing from pavements. Buffers also protect soil from eroding and mitigate the effects of flooding. Herbicides and pesticides used excessively on lawns and garden plants can kill or damage eelgrass beds and the animals that live in them.
• using mooring floats to tie up boats.
