Learning session in Crisfield hosted by EPA on subject of living shorelines
CRISFIELD — Living shorelines are created using plants, reefs, sand, and natural barriers to reduce erosion and flooding while maintaining natural shoreline processes.
On Saturday, June 1, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will be hosting a public learning session on what it takes to create, fund, and successfully implement a living shoreline. Speakers from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and Tetra Tech will share how living shorelines may help reduce erosion, mitigate flooding impacts, and protect against property damage.
The session will be held 10 a.m. to noon at the Crisfield Library, 100 Collins Street. To pre-register go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7H32WCW, email beacon@salisbury.edu, or call 410-546-6001.
