The great mangrove migration

Mangroves, Climate Change and Hurricanes
Tuesday, Feb. 19, 7pm

Speaker: Candy Feller

Deep in Florida, mangrove trees have been expanding up the east coast.
Today, they've reached about 30°N latitude, where a mix of salt marsh and
mangroves extends from Nassau Sound in the north to Cocoa Beach in the
south. Scientists suspect the main cause is more than 30 years of warmer
winters brought on by climate change. But extreme weather plays a role as
well. Find out how hurricanes and winter storms are tipping the balances,
with veteran mangrove scientist Candy Feller.

Location:
