Syringodium filiforme, commonly known as manatee grass, is a species of marine seagrass. It forms meadows in shallow sandy or muddy locations in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, and is also found in the Bahamas and Bermuda.[1][2] It occurs to a depth of about 20 m (66 ft), and even deeper where water is very clear.[1]
