In order to grow in saltwater marsh, seagrass has adapted in two major ways: salinity tolerance and wave energy. Most land plants cannot tolerate salt concentration, thus seagrass has an advantage by its mechanism of managing the high salt concentration in the water around it. Through its rhizomes and root systems it anchors itself firmly to the sediments. The ribbon-shaped grass blades offer little resistance to the wave currents and float with the water movements.
