Abstract: Reliable measurements of changes in wetland surface elevation are necessary to understand and predict the probable impact of sea-level rise on vulnerable coastal ecosystems and for science-informed management, adaptation and mitigation. A simple, inexpensive and low-technology device called the 'rod surface elevation table' could be used to monitor threatened coastal wetlands around the world.
