In North America, the boundary between mangroves and salt marshes is shifting northward due to warmer winters, raising concerns among coastal managers. While this phenomenon has long been documented, observations of this change are increasing. There is limited guidance on where mangroves may continue to expand, over what timeframes, and how ecosystem functions may respond. Critical knowledge gaps remain, including which studies best support effective management of ecological and human dimensions. This session will convene a panel of diverse stakeholders to share the state of the science and facilitate knowledge exchange, culminating in actionable science for coastal ecosystems and communities
