Coastal Resilience: Nature-based solutions can help protect Florida's coastline | The Nature ConservancyClimate change is an urgent problem ever...
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network
Climate change is an urgent problem everywhere, and its impacts are especially pressing for the nearly 14 million people who live in Florida’s coastal counties. Rising sea levels and swelling storm surges threaten coastal communities with flooding and erosion, putting people and property at risk.
Natural infrastructure such as marshes, beaches, mangrove stands, coral reefs and oyster reefs can help protect Florida's coastline from such threats.
In Florida and beyond, TNC is protecting and restoring natural infrastructure to reduce the impact of coastal hazards related to climate change. Along with green and green-gray or hybrid infrastructure, these nature-based solutions can protect people and property while also providing wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities and economic benefits. By investing in nature-based solutions across Florida, TNC is demonstrating how local and state governments and key stakeholders can provide a win-win solution for coastal resilience on an even greater scale.
