After going through the estuary’s exhibits and learning about which animals live in certain salinities of water, we decided to walk along the boardwalk at the marina to observe the estuary surrounding us. Here, we observed many small jumping fish, turtles, and a few fish that were 8 inches to a foot long! The brush making up the wetlands were filled with nutrients for the wildlife and was a great buffer zone for the estuary. Along with some unfortunate bottles and pieces of trash, however, there was also a film on the water alluding to signs of an early stage of nutrient overload as shown in an exhibit of the estuary.
