It also has a sandy coast full of seashells. Seashells play a vital part in preventing erosion. Bits and pieces of shells that broke from crashing waves, pounding rocks, and time settle. The hundreds of year old shells mix into the sand, providing protection for other organisms, and stabilizing the sea bed.
