Sandy Beaches Are an Ecosystem!
- "...a beach needs to be allowed to undergo its natural life cycle. The beach organisms, whether they be birds, small crustaceans, or microscopic organisms depend on the nutrient-rich environment created by decomposing wrack. It isn't trash. It is part of the circle of life." - excerpt from City of South Padre Island's Beach Raking Policy, as quoted in Rob Nixon's Waiting for the Next Swell blog.
