 e-marsh/\n\n### Suffolk Downs Redevelopment meets Belle Isle Marsh\n\nPlea
 se join us on [World Wetlands Day](https://www.worldwetlandsday.org/) (act
 ually eve but close enough) to save the Belle Isle Marsh Reservation. \\#W
 etlandBiodiversityMatters \\#WorldWetlandsDay\n\nRead the [What's Up Easti
 e post](https://whatsupeastie.com/dont-suffolk-ate-the-marsh) about this i
 ssue.\n\nBelle Isle Salt Marsh is being affected today by sea-level rise. 
 This is causing “coastal squeeze” where the marsh would naturally star
 t to migrate inland.\n\nThe state of Massachusetts is about to green light
  a massive development project adjacent to this vital ecosystem. This is a
  death sentence for hundreds of species of birds\, and also our own abilit
 y to adapt to climate change.\n\nThe marsh is also a stop over point for m
 igratory birds. If it is lost these birds won’t be able to stop flying. 
 They will keep trying to go further but they won’t make it and they will
  die. We would also lose the carbon sink function of the marsh. Protecting
  and restoring ecosystems like this marsh is part of the solution to clima
 te breakdown.\n\nWe will meet and enjoy music\, chai and hot chocolate. We
  will learn about this beautiful wetland and why it must be preserved. We'
 ll also have some creative symbolic action highlighting the self destructi
 ve results if we allowing this development to proceed.
