Coastal wetlands have the ability to remove excess nitrogen and other nutrients from waterways, but NYC has lost over 85% of its wetlands to urban development. In this project, we use adaptive management techniques to construct a resilient tidal wetland that supports biodiversity, improves water quality, and effectively removes nitrogen from the system.</span></p><div><b>Friday May 9th</b><b> 3:30</b><b>pm. </b><br></div><div><div><div><div><div><b>Hudson 106</b></div></div><div><b>Reception prior to the talk at 3:00</b></div></div><div><br></div><div>You can add the full seminar schedule to your <a href="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=Y18xMDhkNjVlMjY1ZGVmNjI5MTU3NDJhNzU0ZmQyMTE4ZjBhNmRhYmJjNDg2MDE0MGU3NmUwMTU0YzNiOGFmZTQwQGdyb3VwLmNhbGVuZGFyLmdvb2dsZS5jb20" target="_blank">Google Calendar</a><br></div></div><div><div><div>You can also get weekly updates by following our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SUNYPlattsburghCEES" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cees_sunyplattsburgh/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> pages<br></div><div><br></div><div>Please advertise broadly and distribute to anyone you think might be interested.</div></div></div></div></div></div><div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix"><img src="cid:ii_m9sk42f91" alt="Slide1.JPG" width="477" height="358" style="outline:0px"><br></span></div></div>
