Sea Level Rise and Salt Marsh Migration
Introduction: This is a story I wrote for 41°N, Rhode Island’s Ocean and Coastal Magazine, a publication of Rhode Island Sea Grant and the Coastal Institute at the University of Rhode Island . It revolves around an impact of sea level rise that may surprise some: the destruction of salt marshes. These are a vital part of the ecosystem, and this tale explains and explores the issue.
