SELC’s Living Shorelines Project Takes Hold in Alabama

Our third Living Shorelines conference was held near Mobile, AL, on August 21, bringing together our partner groups and federal and state agencies for three days to discuss ways to most effectively incorporate coastal engineering and ecological approaches into the creation of effective living shorelines. As an outcome of our conference, a team of scientists, engineers, and others will be seeking funding for and developing a code book to describe living shorelines and the criteria for their design.
