On Tuesday, March 5th, 2024, Tatia Bauer, Maine Coast Heritage Trust Regional Steward, presented salt marsh restoration on the coast of Maine and updates on local Mount Desert Island (MDI) restoration projects. Tatia discussed the historical and ecological background of alterations to salt marshes, and the solutions being employed by conservation groups up and down the east coast. It also highlighted two salt marsh restoration projects set to occur on MDI.
Salt marshes along the east coast have been drastically altered by agricultural practices dating back as early as the 18th century. These alterations, including tide-blocking embankments, and peat-draining ditches are impairing the essential functions of salt marshes today. Salt marshes play an important role for wildlife, human communities, and the coast facing rising seas. Restoration practices have been developed to remediate the impacts of this agricultural infrastructure, restore proper hydrology to a site, and allow plants to thrive.
