The Mid-Atlantic region is one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world. Forests, streams, estuaries, wetlands, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, agricultural and urban areas all of these ecological resources can be found in the Mid-Atlantic.
Ecological resources play an important role in our everyday lives.
We harvest products from them, including seafood, game, firewood, timber, drinking water, and pharmaceutical products. They also provide ecological services such as water filtration, flood control, and air filtration.
