How coastal communities are adapting to rising seas naturally with Living Shorelines

Episode 217

Tuesday, August 27, 2024 • Duration 41:31

Homeowners and towns along the U.S. East Coast are increasingly building "living shorelines" to adapt to sea level rise and boost wildlife habitat in a more economical and less carbon-intensive way than concrete seawalls. These projects protect shorelines using a clever mix of native plants, driftwood, holiday trees, and other organic materials.

Peter Slovinsky, a coastal geologist with the Maine Geological Survey, joins the Mongabay Newscast to discuss the benefits of living shorelines, how they are implemented in his state, and what other techniques coastal communities should consider in a world with a warming climate and rising seas.

Read Erik Hoffner's original reporting on living shorelines here.
