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 Adaptation in Local Communities, see how local communities are adapting and working to restore and prepare for the changes that will come with rising seas and a migrating marsh. This is the last video in this 4-part series.
