Managing Threats to America's Beaches from Storms and Rising Seas

America's beaches and dunes face growing threats from more severe storms and rising seas, yet the practices needed to sustain them remain poorly understood and inconsistently applied. CFRP co-facilitated this ELI webinar examining nature-based approaches, including dune restoration and protecting landward migration pathways, and the legal and financial barriers to implementing them at scale. Panelists included Lauren Blickley (Surfrider Foundation), Travis Brandon (Belmont College of Law), Charles Lester (UC Santa Barbara), and Sean Vitousek (USGS), with Jeff Peterson moderating.
