Coquina Outcrop

This coquina outcrop is located at Fort Fisher, taken on January 20th. In this photo is the coquina outcrop which is formed over many years from pieces of shell from different organisms. Gulls are also visible, and so is algea growing on the outcrop. While I was taking picture the gulls were eating the algae, or at least poking something in it. What I thought was cool was the coquina outcrop gave the algae something to anchor too and grow off of, and gulls got something to eat from it. Also, there are probably many other organisms that live around or use the outcrop as a source for shelter or food.
