MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Land Trust and Woods Hole Group will give an informative presentation about local saltmarshes on Thursday, Sept. 19 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Mattapoisett Fire Station.
Results of a study of 250 acres of salt marsh in Mattapoisett from June will be presented.
“This large saltmarsh system is suffering damage as a result of many factors,” said the Mattapoisett Land Trust in a press release. “The study identified these factors, projected future marsh conditions with rising sea levels, and developed possible actions to improve or restore the health and resilience of the marsh.”
The study was funded by a grant from the Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management office.
The presentation is free, open to the public and will include a question and answer session.
