I had an opportunity to fly the coast of New Hampshire yesterday. Incredible views and sights. Most of our shoreline is comprised of wetland complexes, overflow marshes, salt marshes, and tidal systems. When you look from above you can really appreciate what we have and how truly important it is to preserve and protect it.
