Fact: Up to ⅓ of South Atlantic tidal wetlands could be lost by 2060 due to sea level rise alone. @USFWS’ Dan Chapman explains why so many are working to conserve and restore these essential yet quickly disappearing ecosystems. pew.org/498MGjr

I’m glad to see this partnership between Virginia and @DeptofDefense. The recognition of climate security as a national security issue through the Sentinel Landscapes Partnership can help make important strides in land conservation. pew.org/3O2dquO

What’s at stake in the newly designated Virginia Security Corridor? New protections in 4,600 sq. miles of the Chesapeake Bay area will conserve and restore coastal habitats, safeguard against threats like sea level rise, and more👇 pew.org/3O4iQW3

Let's talk about salt marsh! Here are some cool salt marsh facts you may not already know: 1. The US has approximately 3.8 million acres of salt marsh, with 1 million of that existing in the Southeast, from North Carolina to Florida. #saltmarsh #SASMI #MarshForward

Nearly the size of Grand Canyon National Park, a vast U.S. South Atlantic salt marsh expanse has tremendous cultural value. Excited to partner with the @GullahGeechee to help protect the future of this habitat. #MarshForward #SASMI
Gullah/Geechee Folks@GullahGeechee

The South Atlantic Salt Marsh Initiative brought together over 300 collaborative partners including the @gullahgeechee Nation to protect and conserve 1 million acres of salt marsh. Check out the plan at MarshForward.org. Marsh Forward!

As the proud daughter of a US marine, I'm thrilled to be part of this effort! Military installations are experiencing climate impacts and salt marshes can act as buffers to flood waters and waves. That’s why the @DeptofDefense is on board with a plan to protect 1 million acres.
DoD NR Program@DoDNatRes

The @DeptofDefense is joining forces with U.S. South Atlantic communities and leaders to help protect salt marshes for the sake of national security. Here’s how: marshforward.org/media/4bvhppi3… #MarshForward #SASMI
