🐠 75% of commercial fish species depend on estuaries at some point in their lives! These "nurseries of the sea" provide safe havens for young fish, crabs, and shellfish to grow before heading to the open ocean. No estuaries = no seafood! 🦐 #EstuariesWeek #WadeIn #EstuarineNursery #Seafood

🛡️ Estuaries are our coastal communities' first line of defense! Habitats such as salt marshes, coral reefs, and mangroves can reduce storm surge heights and wave energy. Mother Nature's own flood protection system at work! #EstuariesWeek #WadeIn #CoastalResilience #ClimateAdaptation

🌊 Did you know that 47% of the U.S. GDP comes from estuarine regions? In 2018, it’s estimated that they contributed over $301 billion to the U.S. economy. These incredible ecosystems support commercial fishing, recreation, tourism, and countless jobs in coastal communities. #EstuariesWeek
