Observation Narrative	Plot located on relatively "young" deposit of overwash sand at the tip of a spit west of North Point. Vegetation represents an early successional stage of dune vegetation development. Closer to the water's edge such species as Spartina alterniflora, Symphyotrichum subulata, Iva frutescens, Suaeda sp., Distichlis spicata and more Spartina patens occur. A whitish grasshopper is frequent; apparently it is Trimerotropis maritima.
