About the Natural Species Being Replicated
Zostera marina, commonly known as Eelgrass, is a marine flowering plant widely distributed throughout coastal waters of the Northern Hemisphere.
In nature, Eelgrass typically grows in sandy or muddy substrates in shallow coastal waters and estuaries. It has long, bright-green, ribbon-like leaves extending from branching underground rhizomes and commonly forms underwater meadows.
These natural Eelgrass beds provide important habitat and structure within coastal marine ecosystems.
