Our coastal bays and coastal wetlands, our estuaries. <br />They form a system of liquid lands with the highest productivities. <br />What is land today may tomorrow become open water. <br />The magic is in the wetlands, the stream flow, and the tidal waves all together. <br />The freshwater streams delivers nutrients and deposits sediments in the lower bay. <br />Where the salt water sneaks up with the tidal waves and washes them away. <br />This dynamic interplay of heterogeneous environments offer something for everyone. <br />Our estuaries support the national economy through wildlife production, fisheries, or recreational fun.<br /><br />Ann Castaldi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/estuaries-the-liquid-lands/
