Located in Madison, Connecticut, this 936-acre state park boasts a diverse, high-quality coastal ecosystem that provides habitat for birds and other wildlife, and hosts more than 3 million visitors annually.
Climate change impacts, such as coastal flooding and sea level rise, have led to rapid erosion of the park’s eastern shoreline, barrier beach, and salt marsh. In the last two decades, yearly erosion rates have nearly doubled, contributing to the loss of 27 acres of salt marsh since 1934.
