Tidal Zone

Geese have been identified in multiple studies as troublesome to coastal ecosystems. Feeding activity, defecation and lack of natural predators all contribute to a growing problem.

The Substrate of the tidal zone was drastically changed during the industrial times and the construction of The Seawall. This has created a difficult environment for marine life to inhabit.

The angle of the artificial tidal zone created when the Seawall was put in place, is suspected to contribute to excessive heating due to the angle towards the sun, and excessive drainage when the tide goes out.

Anchoring is well known to cause disturbances to the seabed. In an environment that is already hostile to its inhabitants, anchoring can make an already bad issue worse. By disturbing the seabed, toxic compounds that have settled in the silt can become waterborne again and harm marine life.
