Saltwort

Saltwort is a unique family of shrubs adapted to saline coastal environments. It exhibits tough, scaly leaves that help conserve moisture and withstand salty conditions. This plant typically grows low to the ground, forming dense mats that can stabilize sand and protect shoreline soil from erosion, crucial for maintaining coastal ecosystem balance.
