Name: Halodule beaudettei Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association comprises seagrass beds dominated by Halodule beaudettei (= Halodule wrightii) occurring in estuarine waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean. This association is widespread in waters of Florida and Texas, and present in lesser amounts in other states. About 80,000 hectares are dominated by Halodule in Core and Pamlico sounds in North Carolina, where Halodule occurs substantially disjunct from the main body of its distribution farther south; it does not extend any farther north than Cape Hatteras. It also occurs in inlets on the eastern coast of Florida. This type was the dominant seagrass type in the Mississippi Sound in the late 1960s, where 5000 acres of pure Halodule beds were documented. Halodule beaudettei is the most common seagrass found along the Gulf Coast of Texas, occurring in all Texas bays, but most extensively in the Upper Laguna Madre.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26262.HALODULEBEAUDET Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
