The Rise and Fall of Noisette Creek

Every day, twice a day, between five and six feet of water rises and falls in Noisette Creek. This creates a unique ecosystem. Very few living things can tolerate, let alone thrive, in the extreme conditions of repeated saltwater flooding. The photos below show Noisette Creek at low tide (top) and at high tide.
