Interactive Tour of a SC Salt Marsh

OK we know the best way to have a real interactive experience of a salt marsh is to catch a favorable tide and get out there in your kayak. And those of us who have spent much time in this unique ecosystem know it is a marvelous place, seemingly living and breathing with all its birds, fish, crabs, oysters and even mud.
Here is a fun and informative virtual tour of a South Carolina Salt Marsh courtesy of Clemson University. The many links and photos makes it sort of fun and interactive and don't forget to scroll down when reading the text.
