Healthy, well-vegetated coastlines are resilient coastlines, able to withstand daily pressures and quickly recover from storm events. Unfortunately, many of our coastlines are not healthy and seem to require ever greater measures for stabilization. Traditional stabilization methods reduce or eliminate many of the ecosystem functions of a vegetated shoreline. Living shorelines are a more ecological method of stabilization and can often be more economical. However, implementation at scale is often hindered by both a lack of education and funding. This talk will provide case studies to illustrate how leveraging partnerships can result in living shoreline implementation at scale.
