Thin Layer Sediment Placement Boosts Marsh Growth
coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/thin-layer-sediment-placement-boosts-marsh-growth-in-new-experimental-study/
A new NCCOS study shows that spreading a thin layer of sediment on low-lying marshes promotes vegetation growth that builds elevation. The technique ...
Salt Marsh Evolution along the South Atlantic Bight
coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/salt-marsh-evolution-along-the-south-atlantic-bight/
As sea level rises, marshes will need sediment to keep pace with the water level or space to migrate inland to exist. The South Atlantic Bight (SAB) ...
Sea Level Rise Could Drown North Carolina's Coastal Marshes
