The intertidal zone is also a good place to find plant life in the sea, where mangroves or cordgrass or beach grass might grow. |
Once there, the gastropods use their belt of serrated teeth, called radula, to slice the living cordgrass. |
When we arrived in the marsh, tussocks of cordgrass and black need-lerush poked up here and there from the glassy water. |
Efforts are now being made to remove these cordgrass species, as the damages are slowly being recognised. |
Prairie cordgrass dominated some areas of wet prairie, especially in the northern parts of the site, whereas bluejoint and muhly grass dominated others. |
Marsh vegetation consists mainly of cattail and sedges, with salt marsh cordgrass occurring along creek banks. |
