ERAU, B-CU, and UCF announce “living seawalls” workshops. The focus will be oceanfront resilience.
November 13th in New Smyrna Beach and
November 20th in Ponce Inlet.
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.
