Salt marshes are some of the most productive and valuable habitats on the planet - but these critical wetlands are facing existential threat, from accelerating sea-level rise and coastal development.
The Cornell Lab's Center for Conservation Media is proud to partner with the South Atlantic Salt Marsh Initiative (SASMI), a diverse partnership working across sectors and state lines, in a bold effort to preserve a million-acre corridor that still thrives along the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

Saltwater marshes are the most underrated and under-appreciated natural wonders in the U.S.
This post is so extremely important. I thank whomever put this together bc this message is what humans must learn is what is going on...what needs to happen, and what and why we need to save habitats like this. Humans need to realize...even if they live nowhere near a marsh as this one...that it will in fact have a negative snowball effect on them as well...even in the suburbs of Pennsylvania (for example). Plz educate yourselves. Listen to this informative post. Thank you❤.

Agreed. I discovered the salt marshes of the Southeast through kayak fishing and fell in love with them. I don’t know how to help other than to spread the word about protecting and conserving these mystical places.
Excellent message. Thank you as always for all you do. Indispensable!

What excellent message? The message that people don't have to change? That they can keep eating other species although there is no need for it, just as long as we do it "responsibly" and "green"? Go vegan already!
You are awesome. Thank you for your work from Germany
SHOW!
Wonderful video! I'm curious why Virginia is not included in this initiative? The VA Eastern Shore is nearly all tidal marshes. Thanks!
Marshes are so very vital for so many species and also stopover on migration routes. I am concerned that farming along marsh waterways could be a source of fertilizers draining into the marshes and ultimately the ocean.
Thank you for all you are doing!! I am an Audobon member.

Not something to be proud of. Audobon is not a very ethical organisation. Like all big organisations they are dependent on donations and will try to keep as much people as happy as possible and by doing so do not take the necessary steps to really make a difference.
Informasi yang sangat penting, terima kasih.

Produce to harvest? You mean living, breathing, feeling, sentient beings you don't need to kill and eat in order to survive or thrive. You can live happy and healthy being vegan. What you do is immoral. 1
Will the sea level rise cause so much damage to the coast/marsh that people will have to move back and then the areas that humans abandon will become the new shoreline/marsh? It may happen too quickly where both animals and plants wont be able to adapt but some can survive and move into previous human dwelling areas. Right?

Homo sapiens will go extinct. Earth will regenerate and go on. New species will evolve. All that will be left of our presence here is 1 or 2 mm in the earth's crust.

Time for geo-engineering.
