Summary[edit]

Description
English: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and The Nature Conservancy are working to restore and strengthen salt marsh habitat at Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge. Middletown, Rhode Island (RI) to better withstand impacts of sea-level rise and coastal storm surge. Thin-layer deposition (TLD) raises the marsh elevation with new sediment layers that will improve growth of salt marsh plants and reduce overall deterioration of the marsh, benefiting species such as the federally listed Saltmarsh Sparrow, which relies on high marsh as nesting habitat. Marshes also play a key role in cleaning and filtering water, and act as a buffer to absorb wind, waves and flood water -- a key factor in storm protection.
