The Department of Defense recognizes climate threats and their impacts on mission resilience and readiness. Hosted by Engineering With Nature (EWN®), a workshop in July 2023 explored threats at MacDill AFB, focusing on wind, erosion, flooding, sea-level rise, and wildfire. Agency experts presented case studies with nature-based solutions, including shoreline enhancement, beneficial use of dredged material, stormwater treatment improvements, native plant revegetation, and invasive plant removal. These solutions aim to dissipate wave energy, reduce erosion, improve water quality, and enhance overall resilience against climate hazards.
