Salt marshes are grassy coastal wetlands with deep mud or peat that are flooded and drained by tidal salt water daily .
Northeastern University study predicts how New England salt marshes might look by 2100 due to rising sea levels.
Researchers expect high marsh areas to decline dramatically, shrinking by 94% from 2020 levels.
Low marsh areas will temporarily expand, peaking by 2070 , but will shrink again by century's end .
The study suggests potential solutions such as adding sediment to marshes or creating buffer zones that can help marshes migrate and reduce habitat loss.
Boston has a people-centric approach to climate change preparation, Alemu says. Amplifying conversations about the benefits of ecosystem services can encourage greater investment in preservation and restoration projects.
