Sophie Hunter's 'Salt of the Earth' aims to elevate the recognition of tidal marshes as vital ecosystems, while funding research to protect them.
The show highlights an outcast narrative through the biblical Lot's wife, using her story to call for recognition and preservation of salt marshes.
Tidal marshes are highly effective carbon sequesters, surpassing forests in carbon storage, yet face threats from development and climate change despite their ecological importance.
Salt marshes are often ignored and seen as inhospitable, but they serve critical roles as flood defenses and habitats for endangered species.
