One adaptation that is likely to help marine plants deal with less light availability is the presence of specialized pigments, such as chlorophyll a and chlorophyll c. These pigments allow marine plants to efficiently absorb and utilize the limited light available in deep waters. Additionally, some marine plants have adaptations such as longer and more flexible stems or fronds, which allow them to reach up towards the surface where more light is available. Another adaptation is the ability to adjust their growth and development to optimize light capture, such as altering leaf shape or orientation to maximize light absorption.
