This is the book to awaken all of us, right now, to how our coastline is changing and what it means for our future." --Julia Glass, author of Three Junes and A House Among the Trees"Written with a swimmer's spirit, a naturalist's eye, and an ecologist's heart, this book took me to places I have never been. I loved it!" --Lynne Cox, author of Swimming to Antarctica and Swimming in the SinkThe Great Marsh is the largest continuous stretch of salt marsh in New England, extending from Cape Ann to New Hampshire.
