Life & Death of the Salt Marsh
Fifty-five years ago, Woods Hole scientists John and Mildred Teal’s Life and Death of the Salt Marsh motivated a generation of coastal citizens and lawmakers to advocate for arguably the most important ecosystem in a seaside region. Now, the Buzzards Bay Coalition which supports their protection has re-released the breakthrough text when the salt marsh’s worst threat—climate change—looms large. The beautiful new hardcover edition boasts a new cover featuring paintings by Marion artist Peter Stone.
