Salt marshes are biological ecosystems along the drift flooded regularly via seawater. They give fundamental habitat for Ridgway's rail, which is a rare bird that depends on the salt swamps to survive, and that is the reason its future is in uncertainty when the salt marshes are vanishing under rising seas.

Concord Monitor reported that the U.S. Geological Survey set about to decide the threat that erosion stances to eight salt marshes on the two coasts. The team was amazed to find all eight salt marshes that are losing ground. Their evaluation of the eight salt marshes found that the half will be gone in 350 years if they do not recover some lost ground.

The other four likewise are falling away, and the coastal communities and untamed life will endure as the marshes keep on deteriorating. The researchers said salt marshes around the country are falling victim to pressure such as the sea level ascent and including the land improvement and damming streams.

According to ABC News, the group utilized airborne photography and other remote detecting systems to decide the amount of every marsh was open water and what amount was secured by plants. The team also used information to figure out which of the salt marshes are best prepared for survival. The Massachusetts-based oceanographer, Ganju said the data will be helpful for conservationist and land utilize managers hoping to re-establish the salt marshes.

The report also outlines that salt marshes are not staying aware of the rise of sea levels, and the review has additionally gotten the attention of ecological groups that are supported for a decade for the wellbeing and conservation of salt marshes. The exploration is a reminder to begin attempting to save the marshes before it is too late, said Stephanie Wear, a senior researcher with The Nature Conservancy.
