I am back home for the holidays which means I can’t visit my normal phenology spot. Instead, I visited a spot called Tarpon Cove. This is a $14 million restoration project that was done in West Palm Beach. It consists of five man made sand islands that are meant to provide a habitat for birds, sea live, and plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this place is thousands of miles away from the Beaver Bridge and in a completely different environment, I can still see some similarities. The Beaver Bridge is located in Centennial Woods which acts as an important buffer between the human world and the natural world. It is a natural area right in the middle of a busy human town. Just like Centennial Woods, Tarpon Cove is a sanctuary for animals in the midst of a human landscape. Tarpon Cove is surrounded by houses and is located in a busy inlet which sees a hundred boats cruise by on a nice day. Another similarity between the Beaver Bridge and Tarpon Cove is the state of the water surrounding both of these places. As I’ve mentioned before the water around the Beaver Bridge is polluted and smells back. Similarly, Tarpon Cove is surrounded by water that is polluted by trash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
