Tucked away within the bounds of Sunken Meadow State Park lies a 400-acre tidal marsh, a hidden gem teeming with ecological significance. This salt marsh serves as a critical haven for a myriad of state-rare plant and animal species, offering nesting grounds and foraging areas for a diverse array of avian life. Beyond its role as a biodiversity hotspot, the marsh acts as a natural storm barrier, safeguarding coastal communities, and filtering pollutants from the water. In an era of climate change, preserving this uncommon and imperiled ecosystem has become an urgent priority, ensuring its continued existence for generations to come.
