Eelgrass plays a vital role in marine habitats. Besides sheltering young fish, invertebrates, and spawned eggs, it is a source of food for many. This beautiful seagrass improves water quality by producing oxygen, filtering pollution, and storing greenhouse gases. Furthermore, it traps sediment and reduces wave action, which allows a stable substrate to form, reducing shoreline erosion. So many roles for such a delicate grass.
