- - - - No water loss
        
        Survive & grow in high salinity env
- - - - seagrass themselves - isopods,amphipods diatom crop on seagrass leaves - gastropods diatom + detritus on leaf surface - amphipods
  - - - provide the bulk of shelter
      - harvests are made in very enclosed estuaries or bays
        seagrasses provide the only shelter
        where the exploited species spawn within the bay or estuary
  - - - decomposition is rapid and complete = rapid nutrient regeneration
        
        inorganic nutrients are readily available for use in primary production again
- - - - Halodule Enhalus Thalassia
    - - Zostera Amphobilis Posidonia
  - - - Regulate physiological activity
    - - Limit photosynthesis activity
    - - Limit access to plant resources
