Lover's Key Sate Park-6

On today's field trip we went to Lover's Key State Park. This field trip was probably my favorite field trip so far. As a class, we got to experience the beauty of the beach and the ecosystem that surrounds it. Dr. Morris explained to us at the beginning that the type of ecosystem we were in was an Estuary. An estuary can be defined as a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it. We saw many different animals while exploring the beach. There were sea slugs up on shore. There were also crabs and many different types of fish. The shore was coated with all different types of shells which I though was very pretty. The park has many different activities that is very environmentally friendly to the area. People can bike, hike, fish, canoe, or kayak at the state park. It is also a perfect environment for having a picnic.
