Observation Narrative	Plot captures vegetation of a low, herbaceous swale between low sand ridges well behind the beach on Metompkin Island east of Running Channel. Phragmites australis ssp. australis is starting to invade the area. Swale is of fairly recent origin and has replaced a salt marsh; "rollover peat" from the old marsh is visible in places.
