I thought I'd post a quick photo of what I meant by 'drowned land' in previous posts. This photo was taken down in the Emerald Isle Woods Park on the west end of the island on the north side of Coast Guard Rd. This area has stagnant standing water interspersed with grasses, bushes, and trees. This isn't a swamp, really, these are often very small chunks of land surrounded by higher, drier land.
