Salt Marshes Show Resilience Against Storm Surges in Experiment

• Researchers transported sections of salt marsh to an experimental facility to test their resilience against artificial storm surges.
• Salt marshes demonstrated the ability to remain largely intact during extreme conditions.
• The study highlights the potential of salt marshes in providing natural coastal protection.
• The research was conducted in an experimental facility capable of producing the world's largest artificial waves.
• The findings suggest salt marshes can be effective up to a certain threshold of storm intensity.
