According to a new study by Audubon California, the illegal mooring of private boats has caused significant harm to the eelgrass bed in that bay, with 25 to 41 percent of the seafloor habitat suffering damage. … The number of boats moored in Richardson Bay, known as “anchor-outs,” has increased from about 90 boats in the early 2000s to as many as 240 in 2016.
