Seagrasses are unique marine flowering plants that live underwater. They grow in large meadows resembling grassland. The strong and non-porous surface of the plant gives them a lustrous look and smooth texture. They are durable, rigid, and stain-resistant by nature.

Seagrasses are harvested, and the long reeds are dried and spun into yarns. These yarns are woven into pretty designs with a smooth broadloom with long-lasting finishes. These are an affordable and durable option with a wide range of applications. They can be woven into attractive patterns and made into rugs, carpets, baskets, chairs, etc. Carpets can be woven with natural latex backing to enable more durability and to avoid slipping. These carpets can be used throughout the home and is a great alternative for synthetic carpeting. They contain low dust, and non-allergic in nature. Depending on a wet or dry harvesting period the seagrass varies in color, from a brownish color to a greener color.

The maintenance of seagrass is easy and stains are simple to remove. It is advised to occasionally moistening with a mister during dry periods so conditions with low air humidity can do no harm.

Seagrass fibers make interesting products having a life of their own.
