Instead of hiding behind a wall of cobblestone, as in decades past, #MahoneBay is raising a shield of saltgrass, Prairie cordgrass, sweetgrass, seaside goldenrod, salt meadow hay, and more.
“What we’re looking for are species that occur naturally in salt marsh ecosystems,” said Jordan Veinot, #ClimateChange team lead with Coastal Action, an #environmental non-profit leading Mahone Bay’s living shoreline project.
