Observation Narrative	The plot is representative of vegetation occupying the ocean-facing side of a low foredune. The succulent forbs Cakile edentula and Salsola tragus are generally common in these habitats, reflecting a high tolerance for salinity and perhaps a substrate somewhat nutrient-enhanced by the deposition of sea water minerals. Plot located on dunes at northern end of Wallops Island.
