| The dynamic and fascinating salt marsh,
our seafood nursery, is among the most productive natural habitats on earth.
It filters and cleanses, anchors a huge food web, buffers our shores, and
shelters many species. Georgia's marshes supported the earliest humans on
these shores, and provided clay for their earliest pottery. |

Alternately submerged beneath salt
water and baked under the sun, the plants and animals of this unique
wilderness are highly specialized. Discover the drama of life in the mud and
salt. Salt Marsh by Land & Sea, at Ft. McAllister State Park, adds a short canoe paddle, wind permitting, to explore the lower marsh and tidal flats. |
