Name: Thalassia testudinum Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association includes estuarine and marine seagrass beds that are essentially monodominant with <i>Thalassia testudinum</i>. These beds consist of extensive meadows, from 0.4-4 m in depth, along low-energy shorelines on muddy or sandy substrates. This community ranges discontinuously from southern Florida to Mexico along the Gulf Coast of North America, and throughout the Caribbean. In Florida, about 8500 square km of seagrasses are present, most of the beds being <i>Thalassia</i>. Monodominant beds of <i>Thalassia testudinum</i> occur along the Texas coast, primarily south of the Aransas Bay Complex with the exception of a small area remaining in Christmas Bay.  Accession Code: VB.CC.35002.CEGL004319 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
