Abstract

Large quantities of drift algae found over seagrass beds in Redfish Bay, Texas showed net productivity and competed for light with the seagrasses. The biomass was very small compared to that of the seagrasses; however, it served as resources for animals and most importantly to reduce light over the seagrasses.
