DELAND — The Volusia County Council voted Tuesday to explore a possible partnership with a pair of scientists who want to put a potentially innovative method of restoring seagrasses to the test in the Indian River Lagoon.
Researchers Tom Goreau and Brian Lapointe spent two hours explaining the science behind BioRock technology and taking questions from councilmembers Tuesday afternoon.
The BioRock method involves running a low voltage trickle of electricity through a steel structure, which Goreau said helps stimulate growth in all types of marine life, from seagrasses to coral reefs to oyster communities.
