Given the fact you've been seeing good numbers of Brent off there the last couple of winters it could be eelgrass, although they will also feed on Sea Lettuce and other estuarine algae. So long as it's not Spartina (obvious clumps of grass as shown in the middle photo), then the news should be good.

The Glasswort, as you can see in the bottom photo, is very distinctive.Barry Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080358305675651314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419651078350989465.post-40481341428034774632010-08-05T20:03:26.419+01:002010-08-05T20:03:26.419+01:00Hi Barry,lots of greenery on the sandbars over off...Hi Barry,lots of greenery on the sandbars over off Pwll,don't know if its eelgrass or something else,it can be viewed at low tide,from the slipway behind The Talbot Inn,if you are passing this way,cheers BernieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
