You could almost call this the oddball group. These species vary in water depth preference but generally do well in muddy soils to a couple of feet of water. Many provide habitat and forage for wildlife as well as nutrient mitigation and erosion control.
Submerged Plants
These species prefer to be completely submerged at varying depths, depending on the species. Submerged plants have historically been utilized for fisheries management and conservation. The complex habitat structure they create, house invertebrates and fishes.
