Degradation Description
Located next to the most densely populated section of Branford, the upland section of this parcel was under threat of development. The property has a mix of densely wooded coastal forest, salt marsh, and a herbaceous transition zone in between. This transitional area is a prime example of a marsh advancement area - an area to which tidal marshes will migrate as sea level continues to rise.
