Birds flock here for the blend of the estuary, mud flats, open saltwater and salt marsh.

After Mr. Kwon made the dangerous trip, crossing around 200 miles of ocean by personal watercraft, he was found stranded on a mud flat off South Korea’s west coast, near Incheon.

Someone saw a Doberman trotting along 101 on the mud flats headed south.

DWP crews in waders were also rescuing thousands of trout, carp, bass, bullfrogs, red-eared slider turtles, crayfish and other aquatic species stranded on the mud flats of rapidly evaporating catch basins.

Estuaries like Chinook Wind provide a crucial environment where the fish can hide among the vegetation and tree branches and grow bigger as they feast on bugs and small arthropods in the mud flats.
