Did you know? Salt marshes are nature's coastal defenders!

With hurricane season in full swing and many of us keeping an eye on the forecast while planning late-summer getaways, there’s no better time to learn how salt marshes help protect our coasts.

On a Skimmer Salt Marsh Safari, you’ll discover how these vibrant ecosystems don’t just host amazing wildlife—they also: Absorb wave energy, slow storm surges, trap and filter excess rainwater all while protecting our coastal towns.

In a time of stronger storms and rising seas, salt marshes are more vital than ever. Come explore the marsh with us and see how nature works to keep our shores safe! Book your trip today at Skimmer.com

All aboard for ocean conservation! Naturalist Sam Galick saves the day by removing plastic from the salt marsh on Saturdays Safari.

Plastic in our oceans is a great cause for concern and endangers our sea life and birds who may become entrapped or mistake it as a food source. Our naturalists are always keeping an eye out for these dangers and we do our best to remove any trash we see on each trip to properly dispose of these hazards.

Wade into wonder on The Skimmer Salt Marsh Safari! Check out these elegant wading birds you're likely to encounter on our trips...

Snowy Egrets are petite with slim black bills and bright yellow feet. They utilize these golden slippers for their unique feeding style. The tall and stately Great Egret stands tall with a bright yellow bill, black legs and a stoic appearance. Tricolored herons stand out in hues of blue, lavender and white while stalking prey in tidal creeks. Yellow crowned night herons sport a striking red eye and bold stocky bodies with a bold whitish yellow crown, often spotted at dusk when time to feed.

Whether you're a seasoned birder or curious first timer, the crew aboard The Skimmer work hard to get you views of our graceful wading birds among many other species!

You may have noticed our salt marshes "greening up" this week, on a large scale the salt marsh comes alive! Grasses sway in the breeze, birds and sealife spawn and feed their young, and the marsh adapts to the rising and falling of the tides. Our boat tours offer a rare glimpse into this dynamic ecosystem.

Once nearly extirpated from the New Jersey coast due to pesticide use and habitat loss, Osprey are a true success story of conservation, and Cape May is one of the greatest places to witness it!

Thanks to the tireless efforts of conservation organizations like Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ, New Jersey Fish and Wildlife, and The Nature Conservancy, Osprey have made a remarkable comeback. Through nest platform building and maintenance, monitoring programs, and habitat protection, these organizations helped bring the "fish hawk" back from the brink.

Join us for a Salt Marsh Safari where you'll cruise past active Osprey nests, watch them dive for fish, and learn how this iconic raptor became a symbol of resilience and hope for the Garden State. Book with us today at skimmer.com! And don't forget to vote for our trip as a 10Best Boat Tour at the link below! https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/salt-marsh-safari-on-skimmer-cape-may-new-jersey/
