So excited about this story ‘Living Shoreline’ on Florida Campus Scraps Seawall in Favor of Seagrass published in #WEFStormwaterReport. My alma mater, Eckerd College, is building living shorelines, a nature-based alternative to traditional seawalls that offers sustainable flood protection, minimal maintenance needs, and aesthetic beauty. Thank you to Jesse Sherry, Associate Professor of Environmental Studies for taking the time to share this story with Justin Jacques, Editor of #WEFStormwaterReport.
