Abandoned boat on the edge of a marsh After much research, we found that this is the palate of a Black Drum fish, used to crush shells of shellfish Walking along the beach, above the intertidal zone, these shells were weathered and formed into patterns Sunset over the bay and shell beach A clam; the small blue dots along the edge are small eyes, with the bulk of the animal inside the shell I found a Welk (similar to a conch, essentially a very large snail) while harvesting seagrass! Salt marsh on a deserted barrier island Welk found on the beach The incongruity of coloration on the beach is due to the varying weight of sediment, and the impact of the wind Ghost crab Net pollution on an uninhabited barrier island Cape Charles beach While fish sampling, we found several varieties of small fish, as well as lots of crabs Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
