A huge thanks to @DiverseGreen for spotlighting Pew!

We’re looking forward to new challenges, finding common ground, and pushing conservation forward in the new year.

Progress: An updated management plan for a 250,000-acre estuary reserve could help protect Florida’s long-beleaguered Apalachicola Bay and its oysters.

The Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve can help us conserve and study this ecosystem. https://t.co/DMh5GLurmp

Fact: Up to ⅓ of South Atlantic tidal wetlands could be lost by 2060 due to sea level rise alone.

@USFWS’ Dan Chapman explains why so many are working to conserve and restore these essential yet quickly disappearing ecosystems. https://t.co/DYBXr5knYu

“[The South Atlantic Salt Marsh Initiative] gives me hope that we can meet the challenges of our day—chief of them is sea level rise. If we don’t take action for salt marshes, we may not have them [in the future].” —Our @Coastal_Cam 👉https://t.co/RRH89YkIZ1

Big win: A new collaboration is advancing climate change resiliency along the Chesapeake Bay—the nation’s largest estuary. https://t.co/sFLhns7Nbq

ICYMI: A new plan outlines ways to conserve and restore vital salt marshes on the U.S. South Atlantic coast to fight flooding and erosion, benefit wildlife, protect military installations, and more. https://t.co/x52JQV1cXA

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

Salt marshes along the U.S. South Atlantic coast provide vital habitat, buffer shorelines, mitigate climate impacts, and more.

Now, a new framework can help communities, the military, and governments take action to protect them👇 https://t.co/x52JQV1cXA

Just released: A new plan outlines ways to conserve and restore vital salt marshes on the U.S. South Atlantic coast to fight flooding and erosion, benefit wildlife, protect military installations, and more. https://t.co/x52JQV1KN8

[N.C. Coastal Fed @NCCoastalFed]

Nearly the size of Grand Canyon National Park, a vast U.S. South Atlantic salt marsh expanse is valuable for wildlife, communities and the economy. 🌾🐠🌊

This @sciam story highlights the importance of local communities in mitigating the effects of climate change, sharing about the Gullah Geechee people’s unique approach to coastal conservation woven through their culture. https://t.co/6enkIYOUsa

[Sue Urahn @SueUrahn]

It’s encouraging to see how collaboration among government, businesses, conservation groups, and other stakeholders can protect habitats in a way that balances conservation and human use. https://t.co/IGZYNDZ23E

Great news for Florida's west coast.

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

BREAKING: Florida just approved an extensive plan for conserving 700 sq. miles of vital coastal habitat—home to mangrove islands, salt marshes, oysters, sponges, corals, and more than 350,000 acres of seagrass. https://t.co/YA9tajm0oi

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

Mapping and monitoring seagrass is a critical part of conserving the valuable habitat. Our Aaron Kornbluth is at @ISBW14 today working to find the right approach for global seagrass assessments. https://t.co/D0aE1xPXEY

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

Seagrass helps buffer North Carolina shorelines from storms, provides vital habitat and more—but threats are mounting.

Today, our @LedaSea123, @NCDEQ partners, and others are discussing what’s needed at @ISBW14. Key background👇 https://t.co/Aj5yeftcZR

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

Florida’s Nature Coast is home to the Gulf of Mexico’s largest seagrass meadow. But changing ocean conditions & degraded water quality can threaten the habitat.

Our @JustinGrubich discusses today at @ISBW14—see what’s needed for effective stewardship👇 https://t.co/KjwY7sdXcz

[Justin Grubich, PhD @JustinGrubich]

Sediment tubes can restore seagrass prop scars in the #NatureCoast without needing expensive planting or caging! Ask Dr. Savanna Barry how at #isbw14 @seagrads @pewenvironment

[Justin Grubich, PhD @JustinGrubich]

Excited and honored to be a part #isbw14!
