Moliceiro is the name given to the boats that circulate in the Ria de Aveiro, lagoon region of Rio Vouga. This vessel was originally used for harvesting the moliço, but currently more used for tourist purposes. Moliço is the name given to aquatic plants that are harvested for use in agriculture. This word comes from the Latin mollis, which expresses soft quality. The designation of moliço is generally used for vascular plants that grow submerged in salt water, which in English are called seagrass.
