This photo was taken on April 6th at the maritime forest near Fort Fisher. Maritime forests play an important ecological role for local species and migrating species. These forests typically consist of a dense canopy and shrubs are very abundant. Some of the plant life provide important habitats for various aquatic species; in swamp maritime forests, cypress trees create habitats for insects and fish. The dense canopies provide habitats for birds migrating through the area. Maritime forests also play an important environmental role because they act as estuaries and also prevent erosion. Certain invertebrate species, such as certain insects and spiders, are very abundant in these forests and are important in certain ecological processes like mineral cycling and energy flow; they can greatly impact the dynamics of the local environment and are crucial to the ecology of maritime forests.
