It was a great seri..>> view originalTampa Bay's largest ecosystem restoration reaches completion

The Apollo Beach woman had volunteered to dig holes and help plant some 10,000 plugs of seashore paspalum in the sand of Rock Ponds, a restoration project along the verdant Tampa Bay coast south of Ruskin. She jabbed the pointed piece of steel into the ground, but struck a bit of limestone, piercing only an inch or so into the soil before thunking against the rock.
