Smart Solutions to Coastal Erosion: Can Nature Offer a Better Way?

Join us for a virtual chat,
Wednesday, June 17, 12-1 pm

Welcome by John Torgan, TNC State Director
Q&A with John O'Brien (TNC) & Janet Freedman (CRMC)

As sea levels rise, homeowners and regulators are looking for alternatives to sea walls and sheet piling to protect coastal properties. Can nature offer a better way?

At 15 sites across New England, including Rose Larisa Park in East Providence, TNC is promoting "living shorelines," new strategies that rely on biodegradable materials to reduce erosion and enhance habitat for marine life. Deployed extensively elsewhere in the United States, few have been evaluated in New England.

John O'Brien and Janet Freedman will describe two experimental approaches that we're trying in East Providence and how they may shape the future of shoreline stabilization throughout our region.

PS - For more information, see the May 24 Providence Journal article, Roots of shoreline repair: In East Providence, trying a soft approach to erosion control.
