Shows the dependence of Westernport Bay on the fringing salt-marsh and mangroves. We see the organisms of these vegetations in their natural surroundings and in the laboratory. Illustrates the density and diversity of the wildlife, and the changes along a transect from saltmarsh to sea. Narrated by Ross Thompson and introduced by Charles McCubbin.
