Description
The Nisqually River Delta, a biologically rich and diverse area at the southern end of Puget Sound, supports a variety of habitats. Here, the freshwater of the Nisqually River combines with the saltwater of Puget Sound to form an estuary rich in nutrients and detritus. These nutrients support a web of sea life - the benefits of which extend throughout Puget Sound and beyond.
"Any meeting of a river and a sea is a place of change ... It will be proof of our ability to survive ... if we learn to respect wild places like the Nisqually Delta, to trust them for their naturalness, and to love them for their power to move us." - Victor B. Scheffer, Scholar and Author. This is a panoramic image.
