SALT MARSH: Research and Monitoring Needs

Habitat requirements of this species suite are poorly understood within the region. A dedicated study is required to better document requirements.

High-marsh species are poorly represented on BBS surveys. A targeted monitoring program is needed to better evaluate population trends.

Studies are needed to assess the potential impacts of sea-level rise and invasive plants on this species suite.

Investigate the importance of landscape-level processes on the distribution of low-marsh species.

Investigate the effectiveness of wetland restoration projects for low-marsh species.
