Sweet Hall Marsh

Sweet Hall Marsh in 2016.

Sweet Hall Marsh (also known as Sweethall Marsh) is a 353-hectare (870-acre) tidal marsh located on the northern edge of the Pamunkey River in southeastern King William County, Virginia, United States,[1][2] just south-southeast of the unincorporated community of Sweet Hall.[3] It is privately owned by the Tacoma Hunting and Fishing Club[2] and is one of four components of the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.[4][5][6][7]

Due to its low elevation (0 feet [0 m])[1] and rising sea level, the marsh's fresh water ecosystem is in jeopardy.[8][9]
