David Curson, Audubon Mid-Atlantic, Coastal Program Director will be the speaker for this program It will be held in person at the College Park Airport Terminal Building and will also be on Zoom.

Maryland’s coastal colonial waterbirds, such as Black Skimmer and Common Tern, have been steadily declining in recent decades due largely to erosion of their nesting islands. At the same time, salt marsh birds, including Black Rail and Saltmarsh Sparrow, are in freefall as their tidal marsh habitats become submerged by climate-driven sea level rise. Audubon, and its partners, is racing against the clock to put habitat restoration strategies in place and create resilient salt marshes and coastal islands that can sustain their unique bird communities in an uncertain future. These strategies include artificial nesting islands, raising marsh levels with sediment, and ambitious planning.

The gathering will begin at  7 p.m. and the presentation for all will begin at 7:30.
