Our field trip the other day to Lover's Key State Park was awesome! I had been by it a bunch but never actually visited the park. Amy and I had so much fun looking for shells and taking pictures of all the wildlife we saw. We saw an several osprey, one of which was sitting in a massive nest. We also saw pelicans sitting on the water looking for fish, a starfish in a tidal pool, and a stingray. I love that Lover's Key is so secluded. It has everything that other beaches have except it is not destroyed by litter and tourists and people taking it for granted. There was so much wildlife that you don't see on other beaches.
I was previously unaware that mangroves had such an impact on the environment. I also thought that the way mangroves spread seeds by letting them float in the water with attached nutrients was interesting. That explains why you always see little pieces of mangrove floating in the ocean when you swim.
