Protecting shorelines. Marshland, Gloucester, MA

Lit by bright New England sunshine, the salt-tolerant grass growing here really stands out against the turquoise sea water lapping against it. Salt marshes are important coastal wetlands that protect shorelines from erosion, are major contributors to the aquatic food web, and provide nurseries for birds, fish, and other wildlife.

This marshland is located in Gloucester, Massachusetts, America's oldest seaport. Tourists frequenting the tranquil summer vacation spot enjoy freshly caught seafood, stunning beaches, museums, and boating. Though Gloucester may have a sleepy, small-town feel, it's only 45 minutes away from Boston. Oh, and it's pronounced 'Glosster' unless you're from Massachusetts—then it's 'Glosstah.'
