Along the South Atlantic Coast of the United States, seas are rising at accelerating rates and salt marsh ecosystems cannot keep pace without a pathway to higher ground. The South Atlantic Salt Marsh Initiative (SASMI) has created a regional plan that is the pathway to the protection, restoration and migration of salt marsh.
In Restoring Habitat Connectivity, see on the ground efforts taking place in coastal Florida – once ditched and dying marshes are seeing restored tidal flow and successful connection to already protected uplands. This is the third video in this 4-part series.
