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 this primer, dive into what is happening regionally and why allowing and creating pathways for marsh to migrate is vital to its survival, as well as our own. This is the first video in this 4-part series.
