Experts: Sea level rise is drowning this bird out of existence

https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Experts-Sea-level-rise-is-drowning-this-bird-out-14834326.php


The salt marsh sparrow, a song bird found in coastal marshes from Maine to Virginia, is losing about 9% of its population each year. Sea level rise and a transforming environment are predicted to seal the bird's grim fate. The sparrow is projected to join the likes of the dodo bird and passenger pigeon within the next 51 years.


A conservation project by the Connecticut Audubon Society involves placing concrete spheres called reef balls in front of a portion of the marsh at Stratford Point.
