Scientists At Rutgers Marine Research Station Film The Destruction Of Their Own Facility By Rising Ocean

Ed. - Video at link.

The researchers at the Rutgers Marine Field Station are getting a close-up view of the impacts of climate change. From their lab perched in New Jersey’s coastal waters, they are monitoring the inexorable advance of rising seas that they know will force them to abandon the station where many have worked for years.

In “Marine Field Station: THE RETREAT,” Academy Award-winning filmmaker Thomas Lennon, along with a team of Rutgers University students, captures the quiet beauty of the station’s setting on the edge of a lush, unspoiled marsh. And he shows how the scientists have decided to turn their seaside predicament into a research opportunity, as they study the effects of sea level rise on the marine life and surrounding ecosystem.
