Webinar: New research to inform living shoreline design, placement and monitoring
Living shoreline techniques can be effective tools for bolstering coastal habitats, controlling erosion, and protecting coastal areas from the impacts of storms, sea level rise and boat wakes. Under the right conditions, they can provide a variety of services while being cost-competitive with traditional approaches, such as bulkheads. Despite their potential, living shoreline designs are not applied as broadly or effectively as might be expected.
Members of the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) and partners, in part supported by Science Collaborative resources, have been studying how different living shoreline designs perform in a variety of coastal locations from Mississippi to New York, and have been developing tools to enhance the use of these techniques.
This webinar will: a) facilitate a candid panel discussion of the lessons learned, management implications and next steps related to a series of applied research projects; and b) give audience members the opportunity to engage and ask questions about opportunities and challenges associated with living shorelines.
Panelists:
Christine Angelini, University of Florida
Stuart Findlay, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies
Denise Sanger, ACE Basin NERR
Eric Sparks, Mississippi State University
Jennifer Raulin, Chesapeake Bay- Maryland NERR
Moderator:
Jennifer Read, Science Collaborative Director
