就像画布上的颜料(Like paint on a canvas)
在新英格兰明媚的阳光照射下,这片盐沼呈现出海水和生长在那里的耐盐草之间强烈的颜色对比。盐沼是水生食物网的主要贡献者,也是陆生和水生野生动物的温床。这些沼泽地位于马萨诸塞州格洛斯特,美国最古老的海港。游客经常光顾这个宁静的夏季度假胜地,享受新鲜捕获的美味海鲜、令人惊叹的海滩、沼泽、博物馆和划船。尽管格洛斯特可能有一种昏昏欲睡的小镇感觉,但它距离繁华的州首府波士顿只有45分钟的路程。

Lit by bright New England sunshine, this salt marsh shows a strong contrast of colour between the sea water and the salt-tolerant grass that grows there. Salt marshes serve as a major contributor to the aquatic food web and a nursery for wildlife, both terrestrial and aquatic. These marshes are located in Gloucester, Massachusetts, America’s oldest seaport. Tourists frequenting this tranquil summer vacation spot enjoy freshly caught delicious seafood, stunning beaches, marshes, museums, and boating. Though Gloucester may have a sleepy, small-town feel, it’s only 45 minutes away from the bustling state capital city of Boston.
