About Coastal Lecture: Salt Marsh Restoration and Coastal Resilience at The Trustees
Sea level rise threatens the viability of coastal habitats in Massachusetts and throughout the region. Projections indicate that many salt marshes will lose much of their high marsh habitat or worse, possibly convert to open water in the coming decades. In this presentation, Trustees Coastal Project Manager Alejandra Narváez, will discuss how restoration efforts can help improve the resilience of this critical habitat. Alejandra will discuss results from completed restoration work and share details on The Trustees’ ongoing salt marsh restoration efforts in the Great Marsh, along with further resilience work underway in other areas of the state.
