Happy National Fishing and Boating Week everyone! We hope you all get a chance to get outdoors a cast a line like this person at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina. During National Fishing and Boating Week, many areas – including the District of Columbia – provide free fishing (no license required) as a way to encourage people to go fishing. Local activities that promote fishing, boating and conservation can be found here. Photo: Sharon Canter

St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1931 to provide wintering habitat for migratory birds and is one of the oldest refuges in the country. It includes coastal marshes, islands, tidal creeks and estuaries of seven north Florida rivers, and is home to a diverse community of plant and animal life. The refuge also has strong ties to a rich cultural past, and is home to the St. Marks Lighthouse, which was built in 1832 and is still in use today. Photo: Viktor Posner
