Synopsis:

As sea levels inch upwards, researchers predict that the salt marsh sparrow will go extinct by 2050. In coastal Rhode Island, a team of citizen scientists spends every day during the breeding season in the marsh – finding nests, monitoring nestlings, and experimenting with ways to stave off the sparrow’s nests from the encroaching tides.
