"Pleasant
Bay is a place of extraordinary natural resources and beauty. Harboring 7,285
acres of saltwater at high tide, it is the largest bay contiguous to the Cape
Cod National Seashore, and is bordered by the towns of Chatham, Harwich, Brewster
and Orleans. The Bay's ecosystem constitutes an invaluable resource for the surrounding
communities and region. From marsh to estuary, and embayment, Pleasant Bay supports
an ever-adapting fount of wildlife, and is one of the most biologically diverse
and productive marine habitats on the east coast of the United States." from
the Cape
Cod National Seashore website
