CARING FOR OUR MARSHES! 

A project that was recently completed by the NHDES Coastal Program in collaboration with the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve; the Caring for our Marshes webpage. This webpage focuses on the valuable tidal marshes that can be found along the coast, bays and tidal rivers and acts as a guide for residents and communities looking to protect these natural features. The webpage is full of excellent resources and inviting artwork, not only giving readers the background information on why they should care for the marshes, but also how to.
