Working in partnership since 1996, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Nisqually Indian Tribe have restored 902 acres of tidally influenced coastal marsh in the Nisqually River Delta (NRD), making it the largest estuary-restoration project in the Pacific Northwest to date. Marsh restoration increases the capacity of the estuary to support a diversity of wildlife species. Restoration also increases carbon (C) production of marsh plant communities that support food webs for wildlife and can help mitigate climate change through long-term C storage in marsh soils. In 2015, an interdisciplinary team of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers began to study the benefits of carbon for wetland wildlife and storage...

This report describes a project to use the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) to identify potential responses of Connecticut’s coastal marshes and adjacent upland areas to anticipated increases in mean-tide water level elevations in Long Island Sound (LIS) and Connecticut’s estuarine embayments, updated from an earlier effort from 2013-2014 .
