PLANTING STRATEGY FOR MARSH ISLAND: SHOWCASE REGIONAL SPECIES AT RISK FROM SEA LEVEL RISE Laboratories Viewing platform

WHY PLANT THESE SPECIES HERE? These plants drawn from the surroundings will colonise different aspects and levels of this 17-m mound, simulating how species mixes in the wider landscape may change in the future due to rising salinity levels.
