The sea level may be rising but the marshes along the Delaware coastline appear to be holding their own.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that mud and silt from the streams flowing into marshes appear to be keeping them healthy.
That’s the result of a new report that looked at 16 sites in the National Coastal Reserve System.
The report found that two marshes in Rhode Island and Massachusetts were the most vulnerable.
But overall it found that Atlantic marshes appear to be in better shape than those along the Pacific coast.
