Overview
In a ribbon of saltmarsh in coastal Rhode Island, an intergenerational group of citizen scientists is trying to save the Saltmarsh Sparrow from extinction, one nest at a time. As climate change raises tide levels, which threatens to inundate the birds’ nests before hatchlings can fly, Deirdre Robinson and her team cobble together a method of raising the nests above the flooding threshold. Robinson teaches a team of interns how to find the delicate nests in the thick tangle of marsh grass, knowing they may be the best hope against the unacceptable loss of this species.

Saltmarsh Sparrow Research Initiative (SSRI)
The Saltmarsh Sparrow Research Initiative (SALSri) is a citizen science program designed to document aspects of Saltmarsh Sparrow breeding and post-breeding ecology so as to fill gaps in our understanding of the species prior to its extinction. We work toward accomplishing this goal by focusing on field research, volunteerism, community collaboration, and education.
