Sea Grapes are a sweetheart of Florida. They thrive in harsh conditions where salt content is high, such as along coasts. There they build up dunes and protect from erosion while simultaneously providing habitat for a plethora of species.
Because they are native here and provide such a symbiosis, Florida has regulations regarding sea grapes located seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line. There is to be no trampling, crushing, breaking, digging or excessive cutting of this important plant.
Can't wait till these darlings are fruiting later on in the summer, sea grapes are edible!
