New Study Finds Sea Level Rise and Marsh Crabs are Reshaping Salt Marshes – Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment
A recent study from the University of Florida found that sea level rise—combined with the burrowing and grazing activities of Sesarma, a native marsh crab—are causing salt marshes across the U.S. South Atlantic Coast to rapidly fracture and reorganize. These findings, recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, highlight the profound importance of this marsh crab in controlling how salt marshes are responding to sea level rise,
