Seagrass beds serve as breeding grounds and nurseries for various organisms. Turtles, manatees, parrotfish, sea urchins and more feed on seagrasses.

Coral reefs thrive in warm, shallow and clear water. They provide a home for marine species such as: fish, molluscs, worms, crustaceans, echinoderms, sponges, etc. Coral reefs also have an important role as shoreline protection.
