Barrier Beach Island Cross-Section (left side)




This was a mural done for the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and Plum Island Visitor Center in Newburyport, MA
It was designed to illustrate the different habitats between the outer beach and inland marsh on a barrier island, which include: beach, primary dune, secondary dune, scrub/thicket, freshwater marsh, and saltwater marsh.

It was created at about 1/2 the final size. The original is 10 inches X 5 1/2 feet, in acrylic on board.
