Marsh Adaptation Talk - Saturday, August 17th, 2:00pm @ IIT’s Hutchins Preserve

The Hutchins Marsh has seen dramatic changes after severe winter storms eroded the banking between the freshwater pond and Coombs Cove, creating an outlet which quickly grew in size. What used to be called a “pond” does not hold water any longer, but empties the streams of this major watershed into the Coombs & Parker cove systems.

Noticeable changes to the surrounding environment can already be seen. With the guidance of Dr. Brian Beale, IIT is putting into place monitoring practices that will help us mark and study this transition. Join IIT with Dr. Brian Beale, on Saturday, August 17 at the Hutchins Preserve to learn about what we might expect to see over coming weeks, years and decades and best practices for monitoring future changes.
