Statement: Marsh morphosis is a climate-responsive and adaptive design framework for habitat restoration and recreation in the Rumney Marsh reservation in Massachusetts.

The proposal helps marsh migration while maintaining habitat and providing recreation in the era of climate change, considering sea-level rise scenarios up to a 100 years, and to develop a landscape design strategy for the marsh that will integrate research and design that are in tune with the environment and sensitive to the natural systems. The proposal will also try to establish design interventions to allow access and recreational opportunities while enhancing the marsh landscape community and ecology.

Explanation: The graphics primarily convey information regarding the history of the marsh, its vulnerability to climate change and storms, and emphasizes the most vulnerable areas which have people residing in them. The proposal then goes on to provide what measures can be adopted to combat sea level rise and how we can make space for the marsh to migrate inland, all the while maintaining the accessibility of the marsh to recreation. Eye-level views which depicted photomontages on how the marsh would look in the present and the future were used to portray those ideas.
