Sea Grass Benefits

- Sea grass leaves slow ocean currents and their rhizomes help anchor sediment. ( Rhizomes are root-like stems that spread under the sand and send up roots)

 

- Sea grass also provides a nursery for many reef animals.  

 

- Sea grasses are also very important because they provide energy for the reef. 

 
- They also filter sediment and toxins from the water. 

- Sea grasses provide a critical environment for crustaceans.
