When I Was 12, We Moved From New Jersey To Florida. The Gulf Of Mexico Was Literally My Backyard. Every Day, I Could See The Ocean. At Low Tide I Went Out And Played In Seagrass Meadows That Used To Come Right Up To The Shore, Filled With Tiny Seahorses, Pipefish And Soft Corals. There Was So Much Life!
