Virtual Field Trip to the Florida Keys

Upper Keys: Location 5 - Long Key

Long Key State Park. View of a muddy tidal creek. The sediment is a mixture of carbonate mud and organic material. The creek is lined with mangrove swamps.

The creek is seen at a relatively low stage of the tide. Study this and the other pictures from this point, and write down the effects which the organisms seen here may have on sedimentation.
