CBC’s Discussion on the Importance of Wetlands & Salt Water Marshes:

“Because they do look like big mud puddles when you don’t understand how important they are, I think we don’t always give them the value that they really deserve,”
“we have 3,000 years of carbon stored in these marshes,”
“There’s so much waterfowl, of course, in there. There’s lots of migratory birds and there’s salmon — chums, pinks and Coho in there — and a variety of trout,”
