Managing a community’s coastline is more than a walk on the beach. It can mean maintaining vital wetland habitats, preparing for sea level impacts by developing innovative coastal buffers, or even reducing storm and flood impacts by recreating lost ecosystem services. Such coastal projects are vital to America’s shoreline communities and deserve recognition for the…

The two…

How will you know there’s a sea level problem?

March 28, 2017asbpa_webbays, coastal management, drainage, flooding, Living Shorelines, Natural Resources, potable water, sea level rise, septic systems, stormwater

Communities with coastal management programs in place may feel they are ready for whatever sea level change may throw at them (within reason). Should the level rise, they can adapt by increasing the height of the beach and dunes to compensate for both higher tides and stronger storms. But for those communities who are on…
