Sustaining the Saco Estuary
A research team from the University of New England, led by Chris Feurt and Pam Morgan, recently published a report on the work they completed under the NSF EPSCoR Sustainability Solutions Initiative grant. The report, titled, “Sustaining the Saco Estuary”, is focused on the ten-kilometer long estuarine portion of the Saco River which lies below the first dam on the river and features a variety of coastal habitats, including tidal wetlands, rocky outcrops, sand beaches and mudflats.
