Over the course of a four-year stay their careful observations of the island's unique marine ecology and wonderfully varied flora and fauna became the basis for PORTRAIT OF AN ISLAND. 32 illustrations. 184 pp. Zusammenfassung Depicts a virtually undeveloped Georgia island of salt marsh, maritime forest, freshwater ponds, sand dunes, and beaches. Now a state game refuge and national estuarine sanctuary, the island remains a special haven where humans and nature quietly and peacefully coexist.
