I'm the Gulf of Mexico

I love my life in the soft mud and sand along sea beaches and brackish inter-tidal mudflats, lagoons, and swamps. My species provides food for birds, and we take our yummy food items from detritus (hahahah--including bird poop!), and play a vital role in preserving wetland environments, because as we sift through sands and mud, we keep these sands and muds aerated, preventing yucky anaerobic conditions. I love my home.
