To really understand how an ecosystem is changing -- such as a coastal salt marsh, coping with sea-level rise in a warming climate  --  ecologists need to study it not just for years, but decades. Long-term data is also indispensable for creating accurate models to predict future ecosystem change.

In this video by Elise Hugus of , Anne Giblin of the ǧ����Ƶ Ecosystems Center describes how decades of MBL research at the largest intact salt marsh in the northeastern United States is providing critical information on the impacts of climate change  -- information stakeholders need to protect the increasingly fragile coastline. Giblin is lead principal investigator of the Plum Island Ecosystems Long-Term Ecological Research site, a collaborative study funded since the early 1990s by the National Science Foundation.
