Cities around the world are restoring once neglected and degraded rivers. With thoughtful, interdisciplinary planning, these revitalized rivers can benefit humans and wildlife alike.
Human development has disconnected thousands of acres of U.S. salt marsh from life-giving tidal flows. New research has found that restoring tidal flows to salt marshes can be an important intervention to slow the rate of climate change.
Engaging community members in environmental monitoring can help land managers understand how ecosystems respond to human activities. Data collected by students can accurately reflected a stream’s recovery after restoration work.
