A sinuous tidal channel cuts through the textured salt marsh of Morro Bay State Marine Reserve, its waters reflecting the golden light of approaching sunset against exposed mudflats with eucalyptus groves of Los Osos visible on the horizon. This delicate ecosystem, where freshwater streams meet the Pacific Ocean, forms a natural buffer between the developed coastal communities of Baywood Park and Los Osos and the open bay, protecting against storm surges while filtering pollutants through acres of specialized salt-tolerant vegetation.
