Our mission is to increase awareness, understanding, and appreciation of Jug Bay's estuarine and forest ecosystems through education, research, and stewardship.

Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary is listed as one of SIX GREAT SPOTS TO SPOT BIRDS in the October issue of Washingtonian! We agree, from an observation deck high above the marsh, to boardwalks, blinds, & miles of forest trails, this is a GREAT SPOT FOR BIRDING! Thanks @Washingtonian!

Not every gorgeous morning is sunny! While overcast with a bit of coastal flooding showing in the marsh & river, it's a great day for a walk at #JugBayWetlandsSanctuary!

Smile! You're on camera...and in a marsh. Ron Lopez of @VCURiceRivers films Patricia Delgado at @JugBayWs as part of a film that @MDSeaGrant's sentinel site coordinator is making about #monitoring #climatechange in the #chesbay. @SeaGrant @FriendsofJugBay

Science reports loss of 3 billion birds. Only good news: "Waterfowl populations are booming today. That success in waterfowl management can point the way forward." #EstuariesWeek. The Crisis for Birds Is a Crisis for Us All https://t.co/VFd7hqkGrk

It's #EstuariesWeek, September 14-21. At Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary we share what we know far and wide, like with this Chinese Delegation who visited last winter to learn about our wetlands and their conservation. 'Cause at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary every week is #EstuariesWeek!

[JugBayWetlandsSanct. @JugBayWs]

We immerse children, the future stewards of our planet, in the wonders of science and the natural world. 'Cause every week is #EstuariesWeek at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary!

Estuary ecosystems are necessary for the survival of many different species of wildlife, from the smallest of zooplankton to this Great Blue Heron. Celebrate #EstuariesWeek, September 14-21, with a visit to Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary (where every week is estuaries week!)

It's Estuaries Week, September 14-21! So it's an especially good time for a shout-out to all our interns - past and present - who provide us with valuable scientific information on the diverse flora and fauna found here. At Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary every week is #EstuariesWeek.

[JugBayWetlandsSanct. @JugBayWs]

Estuaries are rich outdoor labs. Here Dr. Patricia Delgado, Superintendent/Wetland Ecologist, is literally immersed in researching the dynamic wetland environment. Every week is #EstuariesWeek at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary.

Otters are known for their playful behavior, but it looks like someone took a little too much of an interest in our game camera…hope he was ready for his close-up!
