Observation Narrative	Plot captures a grassland on a low foredune, that has been almost leveled by storm tides. Cover by shell is listed as "other" in surface substrate cover. Uniola paniculata is the clear dominant here, both in height and total cover, with lesser Ammophila breviliguata and Panicum amarum ssp. amarum.
