Okefenokee Swamp | Blackwater, National Geographic Magazine: Waiting At The Dock
A fisherman prepares to go out for the night to work the waters in the Gulf of Mexico. His wife, child, and dog see him off from their home in Suwannee, Florida.
The secluded community is where salt waters meet spring-fed river water creating a scenic estuary surrounding the small fishing village. Salt marshes and tidal flat attract shorebirds and act as a nursery for fish. Pompano, trout, grouper, redfish, shrimps, oysters, and sharks live in the surrounding waters.
