Observation Narrative ? The vegetation here is dominated by Schoenoplectus robustus, a community type noted in only one other location on Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. At this location it is confined to a small depression with relatively deep surficial muck. Plot located around a pool in low dune swale, ca. 0.8 mi east of Coast Guard station.
