Figure 5. — A muddy sand bar exposed at low tide at the mouth of Payne Creek where 

 fishes were seined. Spartina altertiiflora is visible on the right and the "back marsh" 

 contains S. alterniflora and Juncus roemerianus. Hammocks and larger islands in 

 this region are bordered by salt marshes and tidal creeks. 



Figure 6. — Riceboro Creek near high tide at the Seaboard Railroad bridge. A variety 

 of invertebrates are associated with the diverse intertidal flora, roots, and debris 

 found in this oligohaline creek.
