Abstract
Global climate change has significant implications for ecosystems worldwide. An increase in sea-level is one of its many environmental impacts. Melting of Arctic and Antarctic ice and thermal expansion of ocean water are causing sea levels to rise at rates higher than in the past century. This rise is affecting vegetation in low-lying areas along most coasts. Changes in coastal vegetation attributed to rising seas is not a new phenomena as scientists have reported finding remains of trees in salt marshes and underwater in the mid-1800s and early 1900s. “Marine transgression” has occurred on coastal lands since the last glaciation as sea level initially rose rapidly with the melting of continental glacial ice.
