Salt Tide
Salt Tide
“Salt Tide” is a captivating blend of memoir and science, in which naturalist Curtis J. Badger explores the last untouched barrier island ecosystem on the US East Coast—18 islands separating inland shore from Atlantic. Badger weaves personal history with natural science as he details the rich array of plants and animals living in this fragile, protected zone. His passion for the area, fueled by ancestral roots going back to the 1600s, shines through as he paddles through spartina on tidal creeks or hunts milky ribbon worms in mudflats. It’s a fascinating tale of a unique ecosystem and the naturalist who loves it.
