The location where seas meet land is a magical place. It is where we can see an unobstructed view of the continuously changing power of the ocean. As we gaze out over the water, our minds are allowed to run free. We think of the mighty storms, the early discoverers and dream about what lies on the other side and of the life below the surface.

The seashore is an enchanting place where sounds of crashing waves fill our ears and low slanting sunlight illuminates the wind blown spray off the rolling waves. Behind the dunes, covered in sea oats, lie the marshes; teeming with life, they are the nurseries of the sea. Many inhabitants of the seashore are endangered because of man, for we flock to the ocean and its tributaries as we attempt to capture a part of these magical places. These tributaries, marshes, and beaches are home to many species, and it is of great importance that we protect these sensitive areas.
