It is American Wetlands Month!

Meet Tomales Bay, located in Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary! This bay was designated as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention in 2002. Tomales Bay is a marine-coastal wetland consisting of estuaries, eelgrass beds, sand dune systems, and tidal marshes. These diverse habitats support eel, sturgeon, halibut, endangered Coho salmon, and Pacific herring that rely on its creeks and extensive eelgrass beds to spawn. Learn more about wetlands this month by visiting: https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/ecosystems/estuaries/ramsar-wetlands.html (Photo: Robert Schwemmer/NOAA.

Located in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and protected by the National Estuarine Research Reserve, Elkhorn Slough is one of California's great coastal wetlands.

Its waterways, mudflats, and marsh support a wide diversity of wildlife, hosting more than 340 species of birds, including several endangered species, making the slough one of our nation's premier bird watching sites! All of May is American Wetlands Month, let us know where your favorite wetlands are! (Photo: USGS. Image description: Aerial view of Elkhorn Slough with meandering waterways and mudflats.)
