Wildlife photographs and text reveal the secrets of salt marshes, where fish, crabs, turtles, shrimp, and a variety of birds, including bald eagles, egrets, and osprey, rely on a handful of plant species that grow in the coastal wetlands that buffer the impact of hurricanes and require defending before they disappear.
