Question

What plants live in saltwater ecosystems?

Answer 1

Kelp, sea grasses, mangroves, sargassum, and all kinds of algae inhabit marine environments.  Brackish (estuarine) waters are less harsh on plants and numerous grasses, rushes, and shrubs have adapted to that tidal environment.

Thalassia testudinum - turtle grass

Spartina spp.

Juncus spp.

Salicornia spp.
