I’ve been attending the Southeast Coastal Community of Practice meeting this week at Tybee Island GA.  Yesterday we had the chance to visit the new installation of a “living shoreline” at the Ben Burton 4-H camp nearby.  This allows a more natural form of protection to prevent coastal erosion from rising sea levels than a traditional wall or other engineered approach.  You can read more about it in this article from Merritt Melancon in Growing Georgia.
