Thursday, February 16 at 12:00 pm John Teal will present on the future of our valuable salt marshes. “One of nature’s greatest gifts is the string of salt marshes that edges the East Coast from Newfoundland to Florida — a ribbon of green growth, part solid land, part scurrying water.”
For over 50 years John Teal has been studying the ecology of the east coast salt marshes. In 1969 he co-authored the classic book “Life and Death of the Salt Marsh”. Following 35 years as a scientist, now scientist emeritus, at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, he now serves as a champion and consultant for marsh and coastal restoration.
