Horn Point Lab’s Science after Hours: “Tidal Marsh Restoration at Poplar Island”
On Monday, May 7, at 5:30 p.m., in the Easton branch of the Talbot County Free Library, Dr. Lorie Stave of Horn Point Lab will present a program entitled “Tidal Marsh Restoration at Poplar Island: Maximizing Resilience.”
Tidal marshes provide critical habitat for a variety of wildlife. The loss of islands in the Chesapeake Bay to erosion over the last century has reduced the area of that critical habitat. The goal of the Poplar Island project is to replace some of it using dredged material from the upper Chesapeake Bay. However, there are a number of challenges in creating self-sustaining tidal marshes, especially sea level rise. Dr. Stave’s talk will focus on addressing those challenges to create more resilient marshes, and provide lessons for tidal marsh restoration throughout the Chesapeake Bay and beyond.
