Marianne Ballantine's photos take you inside island wetlands

Todd and Marianne Ballantine of Ballantine Environmental Resources perform biological monitoring of the wetlands inside Palmetto Hall and Hilton Head Plantation. The wetlands are sustained with Hilton Head PSD reclaimed water.

Marianne's photos give us a rare and beautiful glimpse inside these vital wetlands ...
