Low-lying Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, is among the areas of Maryland and the U.S. east coast most threatened by rising sea level. Coastal flooding is occurring more and more often in these areas, bringing brackish water further inland and stressing the native vegetation in these marshes. Scientists are studying to what extent marshes like these can survive and persist by migrating inland.

Students to see how and why we conduct seagrass surveys. In addition to learning why the seagrasses in Florida are important to the marine environment, students see and touch the gear used for underwater sampling, the seagrasses we study, and even try a little seagrass survey of their own.
Ecosystem services valued at over US $72 trillion a year.
Yet two thirds are considered degraded from damage, mismanagement and failure to invest and re-invest in productivity, health and sustainability.
Roll the statistics around in your mind, say them out loud and roll them off your tongue. Look out the window and think about them: natural wetlands provide services of nearly US $7 trillion, forest wetlands treat more wastewater per unit of energy and have up to 22 fold higher cost-benefit ratios than traditional sand filtration in treatment plants. Crops including the cup of tea, or coffee that you had this morning rely on pollination and pest control services of birds and insects. Projected loss of ecosystem service could lead up to 25% loss in food production and by 2050 increase the risk of hunger. These are a few of the statistics mentioned in UNEP's report; Dead planet, living planet: Biodiversity and ecosystem restoration for sustainable development.
