Eel grass along our coastline provides a valuable habitat for juvenile fish, crabs and other invertebrates. This week on October 28 and 29th, there was a wind from the North West which resulted in some debris deposition on the beach. The pictures show the eel grass deposits and the map shows the location where it came from  in the shallow water offshore. Eel grass turned up in the strand line almost the full length of the Taylor beach sector:

It is also important to note that the rocks along the beach at 0.5 M tide level just to the north of Taylor road are covered in Surf grass – Phylospadix sp.
