Tidal areas are unique in the impact they have on the surrounding ecosystem. Depending on the soil's composition, the work of the tide may leave behind anything from rocky flats to completely saturated stretches of land. When there is a large amount of saturation, mudflats occur, like in the upper section of Taunton Bay. Known as Hog Bay, the wide and muddy area is home to a variety of wildlife that thrives off the atmosphere the low tide creates. To forever protect the vast amount of bird species and aquatic animals that make their home in the flats, an estuary was created.
