Webinar Description:
Salt marshes are vitally important for many reasons, providing essential habitat for fish and wildlife, protecting communities from storm surge, and storing vast amounts of carbon. Many are threatened by sea level rise and a history of ditching and other alterations. This new GIS-based tool provides information on the condition, trajectory, and migration potential for salt marshes across the Massachusetts coastline. Learn how to use the tool to understand where salt marshes in your area are headed and the options available to protect, restore, or plan for future conditions.
