Shorelines are the meeting place of water, land, and air.
Shoreline areas are beautiful and fun places to spend time. We depend on our healthy shorelines for many reasons. But shorelines are special for many other reasons too. Within these ribbons of sun, air, moisture, and soil - plants and creatures depend on each other to survive. Shorelines provide food, homes, shelter, and space to live for plants and creatures, large and small - from the tiniest of organisms, to insects and plants, to bigger animals like moose and deer.
