Review of Fidalgo Bay Audio Postcard
This is a wonderful audio postcard! I can hear wind and splashes and water and people scattering oyster seed. It's amazing - it's as though I'm standing right by the water. The sounds are awesome here. The story about the importance of oysters is fascinating in itself, and I think that the short interviews with the volunteers are well chosen. I learned so much just by listening to them. This is a wonderful audio postcard! I felt that it ended a bit abruptly, but for a small glimpse into the world of replanting oysters in Fidalgo Bay, this postcard is great.
