 What
is a herbarium? A herbarium is a collection of dried specimens
catalogued and stored for examination and other studies.
The purpose of the ECSU SAV Herbarium is
for the collection, preservation, curation, and study of species
of submerged aquatic vegetation found within the waters of northeastern
North Carolina, including Currituck Sound and Albemarle Sound and
the rivers that flow into these sounds. Collected samples are dried,
mounted, archived, and sampled for various biochemical analyses,
particularly genetic profiles of naturally occurring SAV. Herbarium
specimens are available for study in person or through this web
site. Samples of specimens are available to scientists for research
studies upon request and depending upon availability.
