Bird community shifts associated with saltwater exposure in coastal forests at the leading edge of rising sea level. PLOS ONE , 2019; 14 (5): e0216540 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0216540 Cite This ...

The population of tiny saltmarsh sparrows has declined by 87% over the past 25 years along the East Coast. If they disappear, they could be the first casualties of sea level rise.

California sea otter populations have rebounded in recent decades. New research finds that by feasting on shore crabs, these otters are helping to protect their coastal marsh habitat against erosion.

The salt marsh sparrow, a song bird found in coastal marshes from Maine to Virginia, is losing about 9% of its population each year. Sea level rise and a transforming environment are predicted to ...

California sea otter populations have rebounded in recent decades. New research finds that by feasting on shore crabs, these otters are helping to protect their coastal marsh habitat against erosion.

The habitats of the coastal areas along the Gulf of Mexico are diverse with wildlife, and bird species in particular are very abundant. From the ever-present gulls to the much ...

An earth bank sea wall will be built 200 yards inland, protecting Titchwell Marsh for about 50 years, 'by which time the danger of further erosion may have past', according to the RSPB.. Helen Deavin, ...

Some sea wall has been taken down to stop a saltmarsh being eroded in Essex. Conservationists said opening up more space for seawater to come through at Northey Island would slow down a phenomenon ...

Re-flooding coastal wetlands could provide an opportunity to "work with nature" and use sea level rise to fight climate change, scientists say. An ongoing study of a coastal marsh in Scotland has ...

Sea level rise and Louisiana’s coastal land loss pose new challenges for the bird. Louisiana scientists hunt for elusive marsh bird before its habitat sinks under the sea ...
