Beach wrack

Beach wrack or marine wrack is organic material (e.g. kelp, seagrass, driftwood) and other debris deposited at high tide on beaches and other coastal areas, and may form a wrack line. This material acts as a natural input of marine resources into a terrestrial system, providing food and habitat for a variety of coastal organisms.
