salt marsh restoration

Salt marsh restoration involves revitalizing coastal wetlands that have been degraded or lost due to human activity, such as development or pollution. These ecosystems are crucial as they act as natural buffers against storms, improve water quality, and provide habitat for wildlife. Restoration typically includes removing barriers, reintroducing native plants, and managing water flow to encourage the natural processes of the marsh. Healthy salt marshes help protect coastlines, support biodiversity, and enhance the overall resilience of coastal areas in the face of climate change and rising sea levels.
