On Thursday, June 16 at </span></font>7:30 pm the Cape Cod Museum of Natural
History will present <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Salt Marsh Monitoring</span></i>
with Tara Nye, staff biologist of the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC).
This program is free to the public.<br>
<br>
As noted by the APCC, “Salt marshes are among the most productive
ecosystems in the world. They provide habitat for wildlife, serve as nurseries
for fish and shellfish, store floodwaters and protect our shorelines against
storm damage. Cape Cod salt marshes provide nesting, feeding, and breeding
habitat for a variety of animals, including rare and endangered species. Among
these are the rare and protected northern harrier, least tern, king rail, river
herring, the Massachusetts-listed diamond-backed terrapin and eastern box
turtle.”<br>
<br>
Do you want to be an effective voice in the protection and restoration of Cape
Cod salt marshes? Come and hear Tara Nye speak on the skilled volunteer
monitor program that collects scientific information on water salinity, plants,
birds and fish as key indicators of salt marsh health.<br>
<br>
