Issues with saline soils are well known in other parts of the world. The western United States has issues with soil salinity and plant growth due to excess salts from irrigation or as well as lower rainfall than the east coast. Many Extension resources exist from Land-Grant Universities out west. Keep in mind that if your soil has a water table close to the surface, standard remediation through gypsum or leaching may be limited.
Since many coastal fields lie along tidal creeks or have drainage ditches, the use of gypsum may only add more salt. Draining fields allows for Na to be leached from the soil, and will be difficult to solve with sea level rise.
