That's what's happened in the marshes of the Justin Hurst Wildlife Management Area near Freeport, where high sa linities have killed much of the seashore paspalum (jointgrass) and spartina patens (wiregrass/marshhay) that carpet the marsh, as well as wigeongrass and other aquatic vegetation that grow in the normally brackish water.

hernesheir commented on the word wigeongrass
I like this name because of the inclusion of a bird's name in the string. Not a grass in the strict sense. Genus Ruppia in the Ruppiaceae, the "ditchgrass" family.
