	note = {The native seagrass Zostera marina plays a vital role in Oregon estuaries, producing oxygen and providing valuable habitat for many species.  In 2010, NOAA moved its Marine Operations Center {\textendash} Pacific to Newport, Oregon.  It was necessary to dredge the bay to put in new docks for NOAA research vessels, and in the process a .68 acre eelgrass bed was destroyed.  In order to mitigate this damage, the original eelgrass was replanted in a new site.  In this paper, the authors report on the results of the transplantation, noting ecological diversity, sediment characteristic and species abundance throughout the year.},
