Salt Marsh Systems

Healthy salt marshes filter pollutants, provide habitat for fish and birds, store carbon, buffer coastal storm impacts, and serve as important areas for recreation and connection to place. Marshes have been degraded by past agricultural and mosquito control practices and more recent stressors like sea level rise, sediment starvation, and invasive species. We bring researchers, natural resource managers, and regulators together to shape resilient salt marsh restoration and adaptation strategies.
