🌊 Important Announcement from Cornwall Council 🌊 Did you know? Cornwall Council are a statutory consultee for all planning applications along the coast is! If part of a site falls within the Coastal Vulnerability Zone, we will be consulted. Our mission is to protect against erosion and sea flooding, ensuring a resilient coastal community. 🚫 What we object to: Proposals that destabilize or increase coastal vulnerability Increasing the number of properties vulnerable to coastal erosion and sea flooding Actions that contribute to coastal squeeze or hinder coastal adaptation ✨ New Guidance available for Applicants can be found on the CC Website✨ 📘 The guidance covers: The Shoreline Management Plan 🏞️ The Climate Emergency Development Planning Document 🌍 Coastal Change Management Areas 🌊 It also explains how we use these policies to make informed decisions regarding objections to applications. Their aim is to boost transparency and support applicants in developing their planning proposals. 🤝 Cornwall Council are committed to protecting Cornwall's coastline and ensuring a sustainable future. Let's work together to preserve our natural treasures for generations to come! 🏄♂️🌅 #CornwallCoastProtection #PlanningApplications #CoastalSustainability #CornwallCouncil #CommunityResilience

The Center for Environmental Transformation (CFET) is on a mission to protect Camden's Waterfront South from #Flooding and sewage spills. With over $500k in funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, they’re developing a resident-led disaster resilience plan. #NatureBasedSolutions— like rain gardens and bioswales— are at the core of their strategy, making Camden greener and safer. #JustInfrastructure Read more on the project here: https://bit.ly/3udOV6Q 💧Learn more about the projects taking root for a just and resilient water future at justinfrastructure.org 💙 #FloodJustice #ActOnClimate #RacialJustice #InflationReductionAct #WaterInfrastructure #EnvironmentalJustice #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw #NarrativeChange #Communications #NarrativeStrategy

Erosion and Accretion are natural processes that shape coastal landscapes. Shoreline management involves the planning and implementation of strategies to manage coastal areas, considering various factors such as erosion, flooding, habitat preservation, and human activities. Overall, balancing the need for coastal protection with environmental preservation requires careful planning, stakeholder engagement, and consideration of long-term sustainability. Monitoring and adaptive management are crucial to minimize negative impacts and maximize benefits for both humans and the environment. https://lnkd.in/d4Cqkhv5 https://lnkd.in/d2GQDybR

🌱🌊 Transforming Landscapes & Lives Through River Restoration! Congratulations to the Environment Agency, Natural England, National Trust, Neil Entwistle, and Ullswater Catchment CIC on winning the UK River Restoration Prize for catchment-level restoration. 🏆👏 Together with local farmers, the Ullswater Catchment Management Community Interest Company and its partners delivered projects that promise a resilient future for both people and Nature. 🚜💧 How does river restoration make a profound impact? 1. Flood & Drought Resilience: Innovative techniques like re-meandering (rewiggling) and floodplain expansion significantly reduce flooding risks and ensure water availability during droughts. 🌧️☀️ 2. Carbon Sequestration: Transforming agricultural lands into flourishing wetlands converts carbon sources into carbon sinks, actively combating climate change. 🌍♻️ 3. Biodiversity Boost: Restored river systems are bustling with life, providing essential habitats for wildlife and boosting local biodiversity. 🦋🐟 4. Community: Collaborating with local stakeholders strengthens community ties, demonstrating that restoring Nature and cultural preservation can go hand-in-hand. 🤝🌿 The Ullswater Catchment Restoration exemplifies the power of partnership and the potential of Nature-based solutions to deliver lasting, positive change in our communities. Let's keep exploring these initiatives to build a world worth living in for people, Nature, and our planet. 📢 Want to learn more?

Are you working with or interested in river restoration? Collaboration is important to develop a holistic suite of measurements, so please join my colleagues and other experts in this webinar; details in the post below! 🌧 🌄

As we celebrate #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's prioritize land restoration efforts for the well-being of all. The focus is on #LandRestoration - a powerful tool to combat desertification, drought, and achieve the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Let's take action to revitalize it! #WorldEnvironmentDay #LandRestoration #NdakalaAdvisory

Everyday is #WorldEnvironmentDay for UCLOE, but today, with a focus on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience for #GenerationRestoration, take a look at some of our publications and submit your research here: https://lnkd.in/eJfsYESE

Did you know that today is World Environment Day? 🌍 This year’s theme is special to us because it focuses on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience, topics that we are passionate about here at Homewood. To learn more about what we’re doing in partnership with the Working for Water Programme, read the blog below: https://bit.ly/3yQzmDV

As the North Carolina Flood Resiliency Blueprint unfolds, the presence of wetlands is crucial to facilitate water diversion when nuisance flooding events occur. The Executive Order signed by will aim to restore and conserve one million acres of wetlands by 2040. Read more about the Executive Order below.

Making a stronger future in the Tampa Bay region is the hot topic this week at the Resiliency Summit in St Pete. https://lnkd.in/gH7kiJmn Come see presentations by many of the top leaders shaping Florida's future. I'm very excited to be moderating a panel with Ed Sherwood (Tampa Bay National Estuary Program), Bart Weiss (Hillsborough County), and Kelly Hammer Levy (Pinellas County) as we describe perspectives regarding how to re-imagine altered drainage networks to do much more than just discard unwanted water. We can create systems that reduce flooding even more while also working to cleanse the water, increase fish and wildlife, and support nature-based recreation along the way. This is a story of a visionary nexus of equity, biodiversity, physical integrity, and future-proofing some of the state's largest public assets. The urban drainage network collectively represents an immense untapped resource for improving our future.
