Delta Flume Experiment Shows Salt Marshes Withstand Extreme Storm Surges

Researchers report that salt marshes endured extreme storm surge conditions in a large-scale Delta Flume experiment, suggesting these coastal ecosystems provide substantial natural protection against flooding. The findings support growing interest in using marshes alongside or instead of engineered sea defences as climate change drives more severe storms.

Why now: Rising concern over storm surges and coastal flood protection is driving attention to nature-based defences.
