The Mullica Valley estuary and its watershed, formed over the last
10,000 years, are among the cleanest estuaries along the east coast
of the United States. This 365,000-acre ecosystem benefits from a
combination of protected watershed, low human population density,
and general lack of extensive development. In Beneath the Surface,
marine scientist Ken Able helps the reader penetrate the surface
and gain insights into the kinds of habitats, the animals, and
plants that live there. Readers will gain a better understanding of
the importance of these shallow waters; how the amount of salt in
the water determines where animals and plants are found in
estuaries; the day-night, seasonal, and annual variation in their
occurrence; and how change is occurring as the result of climate
variation. Throughout the book are insightful sidebars telling
intimate stories of where various animals came from and where they
are going as they travel through the estuary on their way to and
from other portions of the East Coast. Beneath the Surface
emphasizes the kinds and importance of the animals and plants that
live beneath the surface of this unique ecosystem.
