Marine life, how close it is.

Have you ever visited a saltwater marsh and explored its marine life? There is one nearby at the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge. Life will begin here for many sea creatures and it will also be the destination of many birds on their seasonal migrations. Salt marshes are an ecosystem that are essential to oceans, the creatures within and all creatures that take advantage of this bounty. This transition zone is where fresh water mixes with salt water and the land meets the sea. You will find naturally protected waters filled with new life that are a part of this oceanic nursery and its cycle of life.

Pacific Ocean is not an aquarium.

Some fortunate visitors may find some of the ocean’s sea creatures on their visit, if they open their senses and carefully observe what is around them. Fish and creatures of the ocean can not always be easily observed as in an aquarium. We can not guarantee what you will experience and see, therefore watch our video clip. Now, we welcome you to come and find some of the elusive marine life of the salt marsh at the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge. Public tours are available on the last Saturday of the month.
