Zones in which seagrasses can be found

• Unlike terrestrial grasses, seagrasses live submerged in salt water or brackish water during their en re lifecycle. They grow on sandy and muddy soils in the infrali oral and li oral zone, an area exposed to dal ac on.

• In this diagram, we can observe the profile of a sandy beach, divided into three zones according to the sea level (high and low de).

1. The suprali oral zone is the part of the coast that does NOT flood with the des (it is above the high de line).

2. The li oral zone is the seashore, submerged during high de and exposed during low de.

3. The infrali oral zone is the part of the coast that is always submerged, even during low de (as it is below the li oral zone.)
