Saltmarsh Mattapoisett: Status and Potential Actions
September 19 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Please join Mattapoisett Land Trust (MLT) and Woods Hole Group on Thursday September 19 from 4:00-5:30 pm at the Mattapoisett Fire Station (Training Room) for a presentation about our local saltmarshes. Volunteers from MLT and staff from Woods Hole Group will present the results of a June 2024 study of the 250 acres of saltmarsh west of Mattapoisett Neck Road.
This large saltmarsh system is suffering damage as a result of many factors. The study identified these factors, projected future marsh conditions with rising sea levels and developed possible actions to improve or restore the health and resilience of the marsh. The study was funded by a grant from the Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management office to MLT and the Town of Mattapoisett.
This presentation is open to the public and will include a question-and-answer session. Please join us.
