Author and Ipswich resident, Doug Stewart will present an illustrated lecture on Essex County’s spectacular Great Salt Marsh on Saturday, Feb 6th.
The Marsh is a biological engine whose nutrients sustain fish stocks and bird life. It also protects shore towns from flooding and storm surges, but despite its necessity, the Marsh is poorly understood and under-appreciated. Stewart will explore the Great Marsh’s past as valuable real estate for farming salt hay, its unique success over much of the past century in dodging the nation’s swamp-filling mania, and its uncertain future as sea-level rise accelerates.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Every time I start thinking I’m a good photographer, I see a shot like this one, and my hat size goes down.

The marshes are a vital part of the diversity and our country (America) has lost quite a few of them! Thanks for the reminders of bio diversity! 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂
