Posidonia oceanica
Neptune Grass is a special underwater plant that grows in the sea. It helps make the ocean a healthy place for fish and other sea creatures to live.
Habitat: Coastal areas
The Neptune Grass has long, bright green, ribbon-like leaves that grow in dense underwater meadows. Unlike algae, it's a true flowering plant with small, inconspicuous flowers hidden at its base. It forms vast carpets covering sandy seabeds, creating lush underwater landscapes.
