The document summarizes a research project assessing coastal uplift and habitat changes in a glacially influenced estuary system. The project aims to update land-level change models, measure coastal uplift at non-bedrock sites, study emergent vegetation and substrates, monitor biological diversity, and engage citizen scientists through education and outreach efforts. The intended users include local governments and tribes who will use the results for decision making.
