6.)  List and describe at least three plants that live in your chosen estuary. Include a physical description of that
plant and why that plant lives in the biome you selected.

Ealgrass - provides a habitat and food for birds and fish (long green blade of grass but in water)
Pickleweed - helps maintain the salt/freshwater balance in esturaries (long green sticks with some sprouts of purple flower things on them)
Saltgrass - saltgrass produces most of the salt in esturaries with their salt glands (long ferns with point ends and small white spots)
