The image is a photograph of a sign for the North Carolina Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve in Buckridge Reserve. The sign is rectangular in shape and has a blue background with white text. The text on the sign reads "North Carolina Coastal RESERVE & NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVED" in large, bold letters. Below the text, there is an illustration of a seagull flying over a body of water, with the words "Emily and Richardson Preyer" and "Buckridge Reserve" written in smaller, white letters. 

The sign is attached to a wooden post in the middle of a wooded area, with trees and bushes surrounding it. The trees are tall and green, and the ground is covered in greenery. The sky is blue and the overall atmosphere of the image is peaceful and natural.
