Did you know: Estuaries are called the "nurseries of the sea". Salt marshes are among the most fertile areas on the planet. An acre of salt marsh, for example, may produce six times as much organic matter as the average acre of wheat -producing farmland, and may be seven times more fruitful than the waters of the continental shelf and 20 times richer than the deep sea. Within the 6-port area currently covered by FishLine, we have two large estuaries of major ecological importance: the Morro Bay National Estuary (with the associated Morro Bay National Estuary Program) and the Elkhorn Slough Reserve.
