The
Apalachicola National Estuarine Research reserve will host a workshop
on living shorelines on Tuesday.
The
workshop will discuss living shorelines vs. hardened shorelines
as methods to protect against coastal erosion.
It
will also show you how to evaluate a shoreline by considering the
physical factors such as wave energy, prevailing wind and wave
direction as well as vegetation, and soil type.
You
will hear success stories of local living shorelines and look
at which types of plants are the most beneficial as well as visit a
local living shoreline.
The
workshop is free and will run from 2 till 4 PM.
The
lecture is free but you do need to register.
You
can do that from the research reserve website at
www.apalachicolareserve.com
To
get more information, just call Anita Grove at the Reserve at
