| Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve (SHIP) |
| The SHIP project was established to preserve and protect a small, but very special wetland tucked away in Anacortes near the busy Washington State Ferry Terminal.
In addition to the 25 acres of freshwater wetlands, there are also five acres of upland habitat and 2,000 feet of sandy beach and subtidal eelgrass beds. It is a rich and interesting area, with an abundance of plants and wildlife. Learn more at the Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve website. |
