Marsh Migration Primer

This YouTube video was produced by The Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

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

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

Marsh Migration: Adaptation in Local Communities

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
