The marsh on this site is known as a hemi marsh. Most marshes consist mostly of solid vegetation, such as grasses, cattails and reeds. A hemi marsh has a more prominent feature most other marshes do not. It is because of this feature this site is home to many threatened and endangered species. This important feature is a body of water such as a pond or lake. The coordinates will take you to an overlook of the lake and marsh.
