Great Bay's salt marshes are one of the most important habitats in New Hampshire's estuary ecosystem.

Salt marshes help filter pollutants, reduce flooding, provide habitat for wildlife, and serve as important nursery grounds for fish and shellfish. Next time you're exploring Great Bay, take a moment to appreciate these hardworking ecosystems that help keep the estuary healthy and thriving.

Did you know horseshoe crabs have been roaming our planet for over 450 million years?

These incredible creatures are a vital part of coastal ecosystems, including estuaries like Great Bay. From supporting migratory shorebirds to contributing to life-saving medical research, horseshoe crabs play a much bigger role than many people realize!

Did you know that Great Bay is an estuary?

An estuary is where freshwater from rivers mixes with saltwater from the ocean, creating one of the most productive ecosystems on Earth.

Marsh grasses and wetlands naturally filter pollutants and excess nutrients before they reach the ocean.

Estuarine habitats help absorb storm surge and reduce erosion, making the coastal community you call home more resilient!

Great Bay’s health directly impacts wildlife, recreation, and the natural beauty that makes our region so special!
