Stone Harbor - Lenore Tedesco, executive director, The Wetlands Institute, in Seven Mile Times, said "Measured sea-level rise rates are now approaching the point where marshes might no longer be able to keep up with increasing water levels. The local result is readily visible if you know what to look for. If you have been here for more than a decade, you probably remember when it was a fairly rare event when the marshes were flooded over by the tides. Now, the tides flood the marsh frequently – 10 to 12 times each month – on sunny days. That is direct visual evidence of rising sea level." Is this true?
