This plant species was very abundant on the ron coleman trail. It had coloring of green and yellow that spread up to a height of about two feet. Its Width and lengths spread up to four feet. It seemed to be harboring some animal and insect species as well.

It was around 42 degrees Fahrenheit and mostly cloudy.
I observed that the croaker had a large silver eye with a black pupil. Its white mouth was facing the ground at the bottom of its head. Its underbelly was white, while its pectoral fins were transparent with a light yellow to orange tint. It had a distinct silver lateral line that ran from its head to its caudal fin. Its body had shimmery, silver scales with pale yellow, vertically diagonal stripes from its dorsal fin to slightly past its lateral line, so it was probably a young croaker.
Its habitat is the North Atlantic Ocean in the Gulf of Mexico. The water was a bit murky, and wet sand and sand dunes surrounded the beachfront where it was caught.
The croaker was caught in the seine net, so it was most likely swimming along the bottom of the ocean, looking for food, before it was caught. It was caught with other fish species, but it is not known whether it was interacting with the other fish species or not.
