Marsh Periwinkle

A salt-influenced terrestrial forest where red and black mangroves create a layered canopy above a shell-rich substrate worked by climbing crabs, cockroaches, spiders, scorpions, and ants at the boundary between the freshwater and marine sides of miniBIOTA.

A sandy, limestone saltwater shoreline where beach grasses, crabs, snails, and detritivores work the coastal edge and exchange organisms and organic matter with the adjacent Seagrass Meadow.
