Located near the mouth of the Detroit River in the cities of Trenton and Gibraltar, the Great Lakes coastal wetland is a globally imperiled community type, Collin said.

The marsh serves as a vital habitat for 51 species of fish, 90 species of plants, 154 species of birds, seven species of reptiles and amphibians, and 37 species of dragonflies and damselflies, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment.

“It is a wetland that was threatened with development, saved by the citizens who care about it and ends up being recognized internationally as a wetland that’s substantial to global biodiversity for sustaining and improving human life" Tracy Collin, Great Lakes coastal wetland ecologist: Michigan DNRE
