Saltmarsh bulrush
Scirpus maritimus
Saltmarsh bulrush grows in great fields that wave and sway in the breeze. Found in salty, brackish, or fresh marshlands, this plant stands about three feet tall from top to roots.
Look at the stems of the grasses when you visit the marsh. If you find one with a triangular stem, it's probably a bulrush.
