Given their location in the intertidal zone, coastal salt marshes will be one of the ecosystems first affected by sea
level rise. As sea level rise increases, marshes will begin to migrate inland if surrounding topography and land use
provide suitable habitat. The question remains whether or not this migration inland will provide enough new habitat
to sustain current marsh area as the seaward edge of the marsh begins to become permanently inundated. This
project created an ArcGIS tool using Python computer language that projects future salt marsh habitat under a
variety of sea level rise and land use scenarios.
