About this site
The Climate Change Observatory is located by the salt marsh with views of the mudflat at Traip Academy, an approximately 1 acre enclosed area surrounded by development. It includes a small (<15 m2) stand of Phragmites to be monitored. This area is important to monitor and document changes over time because investigations in the salt marsh have previously indicated a number of trees subject to leaning and falling over from the effects of sea level rise. In addition, some reports suggest Phragmites may serve to buffer the erosive effects of sea level rise (SLR).
