Comments on: Four Ways (and more) That Salt Marshes Earn Their Keep http://wfsu.org/blog-coastal-health/?p=4315 The Adventure of Discovery Where the Land Meets the Sea Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:31:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rob http://wfsu.org/blog-coastal-health/?p=4315#comment-59319 Rob Wed, 03 Oct 2012 15:52:47 +0000 http://wfsu.org/blog-coastal-health/?p=4315#comment-59319 There were a couple of shots that I left out of the video for time reasons that I think are worth noting. I considered showing Operation Migration's first guiding of whooping cranes into the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge. The cranes make use of the extensive marsh habitats at the refuge, dining on food such as blue crabs. I had also wanted to include George Weymouth painting black necked stilts at the edge of a marsh. Tourist dollars generated by the beauty of the ecosystem are somewhat more quantifiable than the inspiration that nature gives artists. But a lush habitat full of visually interesting creatures will always have value, regardless of the dollar value.
