Can Restoring Tidal Wetlands Reduce Estuarine Nuisance Flooding of Coasts Under Future Sea‐Level Rise? by M. W. Brand, H. L. Diefenderfer, C. E. Cornu, M. A. McKeon, C. N. Janousek, A. B. Borde, T. D. Souza, M. E. Keogh, C. A. Brown, S. D. Bridgham

“…Restoration was maximally effective in 2050 under all SLR scenarios, less effective in 2100 under median SLR, and not effective under high SLR. Modeling results suggest increased tidal prism and accommodation space are driving restoration‐associated reductions in tidal amplitudes.…”
