Audubon is working to design and complete a salt marsh restoration project to increase ecosystem function and species diversity within Crab Meadow salt marsh/Jerome A. Ambro Memorial Wetland Preserve. The preserve is located in the Town of Huntington on Long Island.

Over the last few decades, Crab Meadow’s large wetland preserve has lost a significant amount of wildlife habitat due to sea level rise, development, pollution, nutrient runoff, and invasive species. We plan to create, restore, and/or enhance high marsh meadow habitat and increase the marsh's resiliency to sea level rise.
