Скачать или смотреть Series of Solutions: Mentors & the Intern

This first episode of our 4-part Series of Solutions highlights the valuable role that nature provides in protecting coastal communities, and follows the story of intern Monica Moritsch as she discovers how her ecology background can directly inform coastal policy.

Natural habitats, such as wetlands and sand dunes, play an important role in protecting coastal communities from climate change impacts including sea level rise, erosion, and storm surge. The Center for Ocean Solutions is working with the Natural Capital Project, city planners, and many other collaborators to develop map-based online tools to help cities across California identify vulnerable coastlines and prioritize the protection of habitats that provide the most protection to these regions.
