Announcement for U.S. EPA’s Learn About Living Shorelines

 

Living shorelines are created using plants, reefs, sand, and natural barriers to reduce erosion and flooding while maintaining natural shoreline processes. On June 1, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will be hosting a public learning session on what it takes to create, fund, and successfully implement a living shoreline. Speakers from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and Tetra Tech will share how living shorelines may help reduce erosion, mitigate flooding impacts, and protect against property damage.

 

The session will be held on Saturday, June 1 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. ET at the Crisfield Library,

100 Collins St, Crisfield, MD 21817. To register, please go to surveymonkey.com/r/7H32WCW, email  

beacon@salisbury.edu, or call 410-546-6001.

 

Capacity for the session is limited due to space limitations. For more information about EPA research in Crisfield visit our website at www.epa.gov/water-research/coastal-community-resilience-research.
