Ongoing studies by scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey explore the vulnerability of coastal wetlands in regions of varying tidal ranges and sediment supply to different rates of possible sea level rise. They conclude that many are unlikely to keep up with future sea-level rise and will become submerged and disappear. Read the linked article and think about the importance of these often under-appreciated coastal environments. Then answer the following questions 25 Courses Calendar To Do Notifications Messages
