Restoring degraded and subsiding coastal salt marshes by beneficially reusing dredged material.
Salt marshes are essential to the state of New Jersey’s landscape. Just as sea levels quickly rise the marshes could potentially disappear. To combat the problem a group of environmental specialists have gathered at New Jersey’s Shark Island to conduct various tests that are aimed at offsetting the effects of rising sea levels in efforts to save nearby coastal salt marshes.
