Abstract
This guide was developed to provide readers with an appreciation for this ecosystem and how important it is to sustaining our coast and quality of life. The first section describes the physical, chemical, and biological environment as well as the complex interactions that occur between the abiotic (water depth, salinity, temperature) and biotic (animal and plant) realms. There is also a summary to the threats of this ecosystem and what you can do to help alleviate them. The second section lists the dominant flora and fauna that live in this environment.
