Life & Death of the Salt Marsh

Fifty-six years ago, WHOI scientists' John and Mildred Teal’s book, 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-the salt marsh. 

Now, the Buzzards Bay Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the restoration, protection, sustainable use and enjoyment of Buzzards Bay and its watershed, which supports the protection of salt marshes, has re-released the breakthrough text as the salt marsh's threats continue to loom large. The beautiful new hardcover edition boasts a new cover featuring paintings by Marion artist Peter Stone.
