The Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve Sustainable Shoreline Webinar series presents:
The Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve installed their first living shoreline in 1984 and have since since embarked on several similar projects, including the recent installation of a $900,000 shoreline at the Reserve’s headquarters. They are currently partnering on a project to protect US Highway 98, an important transportation artery and evacuation route. Hear how their methods and capacity have evolved and expanded over the years, particularly through the establishment a restoration work group that has increased capacity throughout the region.
This event is part of the Sustainable Shorelines Webinar Series, which showcases innovative nature-based shoreline protection projects, resources for resilience planning, and tools that advance conservation and sustainability. Click here to check out our other events.
