We Enhance and Restore Aquatic Ecosystems for the Wildlife and Communities that Depend on Them.

Sea & Shoreline’s founder, Jim Anderson, started his career cultivating lawn grasses of various species to accompany his nursery operations. Jim ventured into seagrass when a local favorite fishing area was threatened with closure to boats due to extensive propeller scarring. He argued that repairing seagrass was more logical and began developing technologies to address seagrass restoration needs.

As a turf farmer/grower, he felt that using his farming skills and retooling them for aquatic restoration needs would be a logical transition.

Since then, the company has not only successfully restored countless rivers, lakes, lagoons, and estuaries but also pioneered innovative technologies that help to ensure the long-term success of restoration projects.

Since 2014, Sea & Shoreline has completed aquatic restoration projects across Florida, North Carolina, and beyond. Our work has always been centered on creating healthier, more resilient waterways and coastlines for both marine life and communities. Backed by scientifically validated, patented technologies and proven processes, Sea & Shoreline delivers restoration solutions built for long-term success, not just regulatory sign-off.

Jim Anderson

Jim is responsible for our main aquaculture nursery in Ruskin, Florida where he cultivates seagrasses and other submerged aquatic vegetation for our aquatic restoration projects. Jim spent most of his career in turf farming and nursery production of ornamental plants. Jim has developed and patented several subaquatic restoration technologies including an underwater liquid fertilization system, a planting machine that mechanizes the back-breaking work of hand-planting seagrass beds, a transplantation system for salvaging and transporting large pieces of seagrass sod, and sediment tubes for repairing propeller scars.
