Riverside Conservancy hits the air! We teamed up with Maiya May and PBS to plant mangroves and explain how they help combat climate change. The episode of Weathered that our team appears in can be viewed here. The segment featuring our mangrove planting begins 18 minutes into the episode.
We conserve and protect shorelines through educational outreach, restoration, and research.
Flooding, shoreline erosion, and extreme weather negatively affect Florida’s natural resources, livelihood, and the health of coastal and inland communities. Throughout Florida’s estuaries and rivers, polluted runoff has contributed to harmful algal blooms and threatened the quality of life of riverfront communities. Riverside Conservancy helps meet the need of providing vibrant/resilient communities, combating stormwater pollution, increasing coastal resource stewardship opportunities, and providing special places and living classrooms in which to share the benefits of coastal “green” infrastructure for years to come.
Please help restore the Lagoon and all its creatures by: 1) using less yard fertilizer and herbicides; 2) restore native shoreline plants, which filter pollution before it enters the estuary; and 3) create a “no mow” buffer along waterways to increase shoreline vegetation.
