New Haven Harbor Habitats

 

 Intertidal Zone

This is an area that gets regularly covered and uncovered by water. A "wrack line" forms just over the high tide mark from floating debris.

 Salt Marsh

These coastal wetlands are highly productive parcels of land, providing food and shelter for all kinds of living things.

 

 Coastal

 Everyone just loves to go beach-combing! You can find all sorts of treasure given up by the sea.

 Upland

This is where the city has developed. Yet nature still creeps into every crack and corner it can get a hold on!
