- Megan Kelso, a coastal ecologist, spent years studying conservation practices in marshes around San Francisco Bay
- Kelso concluded that one of the largest determinants of wetland health is decisions made miles away, rather than invasive species lurking among the sea grasses
Why it matters: Kelso's years of SF Bay fieldwork redirect attention away from on-the-ground ecological threats like invasives, pointing instead to distant decision-makers as potentially the bigger lever on wetland health — though the source cuts off mid-sentence before naming those decision-makers.
