In Plain Sight<br />
Treasures on <strong>the</strong> beach.<br />
By Melissa Heres, Waterfront Assistant, The School for Field Studies<br />
The beach has always been a special place for me, linking <strong>the</strong> land we traverse every day and <strong>the</strong> incredible<br />
ocean environment that looms below. This link, if it could talk, could share so many stories. The<br />
stories <strong>of</strong> how rocks have eroded over <strong>the</strong>ir journey from mountain tops to <strong>the</strong> beaches to create sand.<br />
Or <strong>the</strong> story <strong>of</strong> how parrotfish gnaw at coral and leave behind digested white limestone, creating beautiful<br />
mounds <strong>of</strong> white sand beaches like those found in <strong>the</strong> Turks & Caicos <strong>Islands</strong>.<br />
