Inventory and protection of salt marshes from risks of sea-level rise at Acadia National Park, Maine

http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2011/3015/

Will salt marshes survive if sea level rises quickly? The answer depends on whether the areas surrounding them can allow salt marsh fauna and flora to migrate there. Local topography, both natural and manmade, is the main factor limiting this migration.
