Baby ducks on Bradenton Riverwalk need some assistance

Bradenton FL

Description

This morning I was walking the Bradenton Riverwalk and noticed a frantic duck on the sidewalk and jumping back in the water. This occured between the Children's park area and the Mosaic tide pool part, well before the skate park area. This was a mama duck and all her little ducklings were in the water but they were too tiny to fly back out and now they were trapped on the water with no way back on shore because of the cement wall. Apparently they all went in when the tide was a lot closer to the top of the cement barrier that forms the frame for the sidewalk/waterfront. There is nothing anywhere for them to get out of the water. Everything is smooth concrete, no ledge, no place to rest, no way to get out now that the tide is much lower. Do you have a board so they can walk back up? I looked around when I was there and there was really nothing I saw to use in the immediate vicinity. The baby ducks just need a simple ramp of some kind to get back up on land. Mama duck was trying to get a human's attention to help. I guess I really didn't grasp the full problem at the time but the babies were very small, very recent hatchlings. Thanks!
