Provisioning Service: The coast near me is well known for their clams and is largely eaten locally and exported to other states. There are also watersheds to improve the quality of drinking water. Local gardens help provide produce. Regulating: My borough has a large number of municipal parks. Residents also keep community gardens, rooftop gardens, and their own individual gardens which help with carbon sequestering and managing stormwater runoff. There are efforts to increase local oyster populations to protect our coast from erosion and moderate sea level rise. Habitat/Supporting: I live near a park that attracts many ducks, fowls, and geese every year. Most parks here are home to many bird species, insects, flora, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons. Recently, there have been coyote dens thriving. Cultural: There is the bay close by in which people take out sailboats and have other recreational activities.
