Beach Ecology
Beaches are alive... continuously changing every day and every night. Tides and waves bring in organisms from all depths to the beach and back out again constantly churning up nutrients and minerals. Contrary to popular belief, beaches are some of the most diverse habitats on the planet. Beaches are especially productive as breeding grounds for organisms such as turtles, crabs, and birds. These sandy areas also double as efficient feeding grounds for birds and crustaceans.
Not to mention ,the beach is the most popular vacation destination for Americans with 58.67 million people visiting every year.
