Liste des habitats menacés et/ou en déclin de la Convention OSPAR

Herbiers de Zostera marina

Zostera marina forme des herbierss denses, avec des feuilles traînantes dont la longueur peut atteindre 1m, dans les baies et les lagons abrités du littoral inférieur, jusqu'à une profondeur de l'ordre de 4m, typiquement sur du sable et de la vase sableuse (occasionnellement mêlée de graviers). Lorsque leurs aires de répartition se chevauchent, comme c'est le cas dans le Solent au Royaume-Uni, Z. marina s'implante sur le littoral à un niveau supérieur à Z. noltii.
