There will be a free webinar on Friday to help communities facing flooding, coastal change, and other challenges impacting coastal areas across New York State. New York Sea Grant, the New York State DEC, the New York State Department of State, and representatives of local agencies will present the webinar called "Stabilizing Shorelines with Nature-Based Solutions" from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM.
This webinar will include:
- nature-based shoreline management success stories and case studies
- shoreline project permitting requirements
- monitoring program information
- resources available to help New York State's coastal communities.
New York Sea Grant provides this assistance with partial support from the New York State Environmental Protection Fund, in partnership with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Great Lakes Program.
