I made this trip to explore the oyster creeks inside the inlet.
The habitat is one of soft, muddy sand with oyster-lined shorelines and sand flats along the main channel. I timed my visit for a -0.6 tide.
I spent about two hours trudging through the soft sand over exposed flats and shoreline. Not a whole lot of mollusks were observed.
Here are the species I encountered in addition to thousands of oysters [Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin, 1791)]. For a more comprehensive list of species found in the entire area of the inlet in the picture above see Ponce Inlet Checklist
