The Beach is Alive

"The impact of this squirming sand zoo is more Homeric than Lilliputian. The organisms are links in food chains, of course, but without them the beach would not be “the beach.” Instead, it would be a stinking mess rife with organic debris awaiting the decomposition that would never come. Interstitial organisms form the ultimate beach-cleaning crew." - excerpt from article in Hakai Magazine. More on Beach is Alive and Beach Ecology.
