Known as cordgrass, the plant is an ecosystem engineer, providing habitats for wildlife, naturally cleaning water as it moves from inland to the sea, and holding the shoreline together so it doesn't collapse.

Treading carefully on the soggy ground, I pushed through the dense cordgrass to inspect them.

Some of the circular nests of smooth cordgrass are built atop mangrove stands, others on grassy hillocks.

More than half of the main island is salt marsh, and the knee-high cordgrass and black needlerush seemingly stretched to the Earth’s curve.

She walked through the bulrushes and cordgrass to the very edge of the marsh’s waterline.
