Zostera caulescens
Also called Northeastern Eelgrass
Zostera caulescens is a submerged marine eelgrass that grows in shallow coastal waters of northeastern Asia, forming meadows on soft sediment. It is a wild seagrass, not a plant grown in gardens, so care depends on keeping it in cool, clean, saline water.
Zostera caulescens is a species of eelgrass native to the shores of northeastern Asia: Japan, Korea, northeastern China (Liaoning), and the Russian Far East (Kuril Islands).
