Climate Adaptation Academy
The First of a Three Part Series, held on January 9, 2015.
This workshop is the first in a three part series. The first workshop is an overview of living shorelines in Connecticut including the working definition for Connecticut, background on living shorelines: what they are and where they work and how this relates to the coastal processes of the Connecticut coast and Long Island Sound; what are the state regulations/permitting process pertaining to living shorelines and what do municipalities and consultants see as the opportunities and concerns.
The second and third workshops will focus on types of living shorelines and under what site conditions they can be designed and installed, particularly for the Connecticut shoreline.
