Skip Blanchard found 42,000 individuals of Bigelow's Glasswort, Salicornia bigelovii, at Orient this fall, 6000 of them at the edge of a proposed ditch. As a result, Ducks Unlimited appears to have abandoned their plan of creating an Open Water Marsh Management area at this location.   (LIBS Newsletter, Winter 2004, Vol. 14, No. 1.)
