New Coalition study will examine rapid loss of salt marshes across Buzzards Bay
|
If you don’t know what you have to begin with, then you can’t know what you’ve lost. That’s the philosophy behind the Coalition’s continuing efforts to monitor the loss of salt marshes around Buzzards Bay.
Since our first salt marsh loss study on the Westport River in 2016, we’ve heard similar stories and reports from people who’ve noticed changes in marshes across Buzzards Bay — pointing to a troubling trend of loss that’s likely affecting the entire Bay and East Coast.
