Hey! I've done some digging but still coming up short on resources on this topic, so...

Can you recommend some resources for farming or homesteading on swampland? I'm considering buying some coastal property which fits this criteria. Also, how can I prepare for long term sea level rise (salinity-tolerant food plants)?

Thanks!

He is really smart. And a dolphin. It makes sense his invention would bring in thousands of fish.
