A friend of mine at SPU went on to get his masters and PhD in this area, and is probably still teaching it at the Univ. of Hawaii.
At the time, all of us biology majors scratched our heads and said "seagrass?" But it is a big deal. It's vital for babies on the ocean to hide out, and an important link in the food chain. Not a heck of a lot of it at Des Moines Beach, but there are some nice beds further north in Seattle. Check out this entire Web site, devoted to seagrass.
