Sea Oats once covered the landscape along the Southeastern coast of the United States from North Carolina to South Florida. They are now endangered. Sea oats are considered a primary dune stabilizer and will grow up to the high tide mark along the beach. These plants collect, trap and hold sand, reducing the amount blown by the wind. Consequently, the sea oats promote dune formation and erosion control. In addition to eating the seeds, birds like to use the stems and leaves to build their nests. This minimalist artwork is a digital and mixed media painting.
