A stand of “sea #oats,” a type of grass that thrives in the sandy, and salty environment near the #sea.
Interference with many #beach #plants, like #SeaOats, is illegal, as their roots help the #dune that protects the beach from being eroded away.

#FloridaFriday: #Sea Oats, uniola paniculata, are a salt-hardy #grass that inhabits the #sandy #seashore across the American #EasternSeaboard, from #Texas, through St Petersburg, #Florida, as far north as #NewJersey.
They are a protected species in most states that forms an integral part of the #BeachDune system.
