Today was the last day for the exciting trip to Puerto Penasco. We went to the estuary to kayak down it and see all the species that live there and realize why estuary's are so very important, not just for
the animals that live there, but for humans as well. first thing we learned was what an estuary is, an estuary is a semi enclosed body of water where freshwater from rivers meets and mixes with salt water from the ocean.
Thousands of species of birds, mammals, fish, and many others depend on estuaries for a places to feed, reproduce, and live. Humans also have use of the estuaries by the clams that are there. Locals will put oyster boxes all over the estuary and sell the oysters for a business. I never really thought about how important an estuary was until we went out today and kayaked through it.
