Aquatics

Lakes, rivers, streams and oceans are full of a vast diversity of life. These water bodies provide numerous wildlife habitats. The soils and trees surrounding the water bodies affect the water quality and run off into the aquatic wildlife habitats. Aquatic environments tell us a lot about overall environmental health and how everything in nature is interrelated.
