The Future of the Great Marsh in Rowley and the North Shore
Tues, April 9, 6:30PM – In-person
David Moon from Mass Audubon North Shore will present how Mass Audubon and other organizations and agencies all around the Great Marsh are working to restore resilience to the salt marsh, which is threatened by sea level rise and other anthropogenic impacts.
Recent advances in low-impact techniques hold great promise for helping the marsh to keep up with sea level rise, and David will share specific designs for how Mass Audubon will use them at Rough Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary in Rowley.
