The Nisqually River Delta is a biologically rich and diverse area at the southern end of Puget Sound, and supports a variety of habitats. Here, the freshwater of the Nisqually River combines with the saltwater of Puget Sound forming an area rich in nutrients for sea life. Many such estuaries have been filled, dredged or developed, but this one just outside Seattle, Washington, has been protected for wildlife as Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. 📸 and caption: ianshivephoto #delta #river #earthmonth #earthday #refuge #seattle #freshwater #landscape #naturesights
