The wharf overlooking the lake is a favourite site for observing egrets, herons, blue-winged teals, pond turtles and pig frogs. Other trails include the 0.5-kilometre Dune Edge Trail, 1.2-kilometre Swamp Overlook Trail and a 2.7-kilometre Upper Woodlands Trail. A 0.6-kilometre trail leads to Dauphin Island Campground and a 0.8-mile trail leads to Fort Gaines. The Estuarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab is a public aquarium that offers visitors the opportunity to explore the four ecosystems of coastal Alabama ‒ the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, Mobile Bay, the barrier islands and the Gulf of Mexico. Its features include a large exhibit hall featuring aquariums swimming with local water life, and a living marsh boardwalk along the bay. Most visitors begin their self-guided tour by watching a video titled “AWorld of Water.” It explains water’s journey from the delta through the 56-kilometre-long estuary to the Gulf. The estuary is so abundant that fishery scientists labelled the north-central Gulf of Mexico the “fertile crescent.” Highlights in the exhibit hall include live snakes, baby alligators and aquariums containing sharks and other exotic sea creatures. At a touching table, you can stroke the spiny shell of a horseshoe crab, a prehistoric species more closely related to scorpions than to crabs. Worth Pondering… For all at last return to the sea – to Oceanus, the ocean river, like the ever-flowing stream of time, the beginning and the end. ‒ Rachel Carson, The Sea Around Us CSANews | WINTER 2017 | 31
