SUMMARY:Learning Series: Protecting Our Salt Marshes with Tom Kutcher
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, May 14\, at 7 pm for a presentation on Protecting Our Salt Marshes by Tom Kutcher\, Wetlands Scientist with the Rhode Island Natural History Survey. The presentation will last approximately one hour followed by a Q&A. \nThe event will take place in the Salem Family Auditorium at the Barrington Public Library\, 281 County St.\, Barrington\, RI. The event is free and open to all. The program will be recorded and offered on the Library’s YouTube if you are unable to attend. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nTom will share his on-the-ground (and in the muck) experience with Rhode Island’s salt marshes. He’ll discuss the critical threats facing our salt marshes due to sea level rise and salt marsh restoration programs that are responding to that threat. \nThe presentation will provide insight into the condition of Barrington’s salt marshes and how the RI Natural History Survey’s research in these locations\, carried out in partnership with RIDEM\, Narragansett Bay Research Reserve\, CRMC and USEPA\, contributes to our understanding of salt marshes.  \nAbout Tom Kutcher \nTom Kutcher is a Wetland Scientist for the Rhode Island Natural History Survey\, where he works to develop wetland monitoring\, assessment\, and restoration protocols for Rhode Island’s state environmental agencies. \nHe is a recent co-author of the Rhode Island Salt Marsh Monitoring Strategy (2016) and principal author of the Rhode Island Coastal Wetland Restoration Strategy (2018). \nTom has developed and implemented wetland monitoring and assessment methods across Rhode Island\, including for recent large-scale salt marsh restoration projects.
