The Living Estuary: Lyngbye’s Sedge

Hey, teachers! Here’s a cheat sheet of what’s included in this episode of The Living Estuary:
- What is Lyngbye’s sedge?
- The many roles this plant plays in an estuary: shelter, nesting material, protein-rich food source, erosion control, pollutant filter, habitat
- Geese, bears, microorganisms, fish

This video is part of the series The Living Estuary. Estuaries form where rivers meet the sea—they are the gateways between fresh and salt water. And though they make up only a small fraction of British Columbia’s coastline, these dynamic and vibrant ecosystems are home to the vast majority of our coastal wildlife. Join us as we celebrate the plants and animals who call estuaries home in this series of short videos.
