Using the NH Salt Marsh Plan to Advance Tidal Wetland Resilience

This webinar recording provides an overview of a set of spatial planning tools and management guidance that are the core of the NH Salt Marsh Plan. Partners also shared a few real world examples of how the Plan has been used to help protect, restore or study salt marshes in NH.
Squeezed between rising seas and landward development, many of New Hampshire’s tidal wetlands are in danger of disappearing. Deciding how to protect them requires the ability to conduct “apples to apples’’ comparisons of marshes across the coastal landscape. The New Hampshire Salt Marsh Plan was designed to meet that need.

The webinar was offered on June 11 2024 and featured a presentation by Rachel Stevens, Stewardship Coordinator and Wildlife Ecologist with the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Kevin Lucey from the DES Coastal Program and Sarah Large from FB Environmental shared additional context and examples of the plan in action.
