Why we want to protect our environment!

• The reason that we want to protect our
  environment is that we want to be able to educate
  student about Suisun Marsh and the environment.
• Is the Suisun Marsh healthy? That is what this
  project is about. So that we can see if it is
  healthy.
• The way that images can monitor the health of the
  Suisun Marsh is that we can compare images and
  see how it is growing or how it is dying

Maps of change

• The first map is the Suisun Marsh in 1850. The
  green on the map is tidal wetlands. You see that
  there was a lot of the Suisun Marsh back then.
• The second map is the Suisun Marsh in 1990. The
  red on the map is urban extent. You see that
  there is a lot of cities and towns in the 1990,
  and there is very little marshes left in the
  area.
• So you can see that in the passing years the
  marshes has been deteriorating very fast.

Conclusion

• Remember that we are doing this for our students
  education.
• Also remember that the Suisun Marsh is near
  Suisun so if you want to go remember that it is
  not that far away.
• Also the Suisun Marsh as time goes on will get
  smaller and smaller and soon if we dont take
  care of it soon it will be gone.
