Strategies for the Marsh: The Eco-Edge

Summary

Urban development has negatively impacted Nassau County’s wetlands. Over the past 70 years, southern Nassau County’s bay areas have lost a sizable portion of their wetlands. Wetlands—and, in particular, saltwater marshes—play a critical role in buffering coastal communities. Wetland eradication has left Nassau bay communities more vulnerable to storm surge.
