Boston, MA



Two wireless video cameras were installed for the Jones River Watershed Association to monitor salt marsh erosion in the Jones River. In a joint project with MIT SeaGrant, the Jones River Watershed Association is studying the effect of sea level rise on coastal salt marshes. Both cameras will be deployed for several years to capture long term changes as well as instantaneous events. These cameras were copies of the cameras developed on Thompson Island.
