The Bay ecology removes nitrogen, metals, wastes, & toxins from water! 🌾 Shoreline plants absorb carbon. Marshes soak up storm, flood, & tidal water. 🌊 Wetlands buffer wave energy. 🫁 Eelgrass meadows & marshes provide fresh air & oxygen. That's all at risk from sea level rise.

How do we stop sea level rise?
🌊
There's no “solution” to sea level rise. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions will lessen sea level rise severity, but even if we stopped emissions today, the sea would continue to rise for centuries before Earth reached equilibrium status.
