SUMMARY:Saltwater Ecology
DESCRIPTION:One of the major reasons Lemon Creek WIldflower Preserve is so interesting is the juxtaposition of freshwater\, estuarine/marine and upland habitats.   Join walk leader Dr. Bill Dunson as we focus on learning about some of the plants and animals that live in the tidal environments including the famous juvenile tarpon and halophytic plants.  In addition to being able to tolerate high salts\, estuarine organisms must tolerate very low oxygen levels and desiccation.  The increasing rate of sea level rise will be considered in predicting what the preserve will look like in 50-100 years. \nThe preserve address is 3120 Gasparilla Pines Blvd\, Englewood 34224. \n\nWhen visiting the Preserve\, closed-toe walking shoes\, a hat\, sunscreen\, and bug spray are suggested.  A water bottle\, camera\, and binoculars are also encouraged.
