]]> Comment on storm damage by Ed Lewandowski http://www.wilddelaware.com/2008/05/12/storm-damage/#comment-4653 Ed Lewandowski Wed, 14 May 2008 10:30:16 +0000 http://www.wilddelaware.com/2008/05/12/storm-damage/#comment-4653 Much of the storm's impacts to our Inland Bays estuary often go unnoticed. From April through August, birds like gulls, terns and skimmers are nesting in our saltmarshes. These birds literally live on the edge-the edge of the water and the edge of the land. Because they place their nests just above the high tide line, they are subject to washout. Storms like the one we experienced Monday deliver flood tides, high winds, rain and erosion that may wipe out entire nesting colonies. And, as sea level rises, these birds will be under additional pressures to find suitable nesting habitat. Protecting our wetland resources is critical to mitigating storm impacts as well as sustaining a healthy population of colonial nesting birds in our Inland Bays.

Thanks, Kevin, for reminding us of Nature's fragility right at our back doors.
