The Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor serves as an environmental class- room melding fun with education and learning about the secrets of the salt marsh. More than 6,000-acres of wetlands surround the institute, providing a natural setting to conduct marsh walks and observe migratory birds, fid- dler crabs and other creatures upclose. An observation tower stretching 40-feet above the building provides a spectacular view of the natural land- scape.
