Description

In Florida, sea oats are native perennial grasses found all along the coast. They are not only beautiful but also vital to the coastal ecosystem. With root systems up to 40 feet deep, sea oats are drought and salt tolerant and can stand brief flooding by salt water in storm surges. They thrive in environments with blowing sand. As sand accumulates at their base, they are stimulated to grow above the pile. More sand piles up, the sea oats continue to grow, and eventually dunes are formed. The large root systems anchor the dunes, so sea oats are extremely important in stabilizing beaches. They also serve the ecosystem by providing food for beach mice, rabbits and birds. Sea oats are protected in Florida and it is illegal to cut, harvest or remove them. I shot this during a peaceful solitary walk at sunrise in Grayton Beach, Florida, USA.
