Today, swamps are protected as valuable habitats for rare animal and plant species. Rising sea levels, the threat of storms, and flooding—all direct consequences of climate change—seem to be bringing these wetlands back today and in the near future.

More Luhring Augustine announces representation of Emily Kraus NEW YORK, NY.- Luhring Augustine announced representation of Emily Kraus in collaboration with The Sunday Painter, London.
