Are other areas of the United States also experiencing similar habitat loss problems?
Coastal land loss does occur in other areas of the United States but not at such an alarming rate. Puget Sound in Washington, Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, San Francisco Bay in California, Galveston Bay in Texas, the Hudson-Raritan Estuary near New York and New Jersey, Long Island Sound in New York, land near the Gulf of Maine, North Carolina estuaries, Tampa Bay, the Florida Everglades, as well as many other wetland areas have experienced habitat loss. Managing any of these delicate habitats is a complex process.
