Name: A.1768
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes shallow subtidal fresh/brackish water and sediments exposed at extreme low tide. It supports a predominance of vascular aquatics such as ~Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus), Potamogeton perfoliatus, Vallisneria americana, Elodea nuttallii$, and ~Zannichellia palustris$, and occasionally ~Ruppia maritima$ as salinity begins to increase. Communities in this alliance occur in maritime coastal areas from Virginia north to Connecticut and in Louisiana and possibly Texas.
