www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1377496556675420&set=a.706729260418823Our peer-reviewed book, "Living Shorelines for Florida: A Practical Guide for Building Coastal Resilience," is available for pre-order from University Press of Florida! Check out a preview at this link! upf.com/book.asp?id=9781683405504
“The go-to resource on everything you need to know about planning and implementing living shorelines within the southeast US.”—Thomas Ries, founder and president, Ecosphere Restoration Institute
“As a landscape architect specializing in coastal projects, I found Living Shorelines for Florida to be both insightful and practical. The authors provide clear explanations of key principles and best practices, and their thorough research presents a convincing, evidence-based case for why this approach should be widely adopted. This book is essential for designers, practitioners, and homeowners committed to protecting and restoring Florida’s coastal landscapes.”—Jules Bruck, director of the School of Landscape Architecture and Planning, University of Florida
"A proven approach to coastal management, “living shorelines” refers to nature-based infrastructure and landscaping that increase shoreline stabilization, mitigate the threats that lead to coastal erosion, and improve coastal resilience. This book explains the concept of living shorelines and how to implement them in Florida—a state with the longest coastline in the contiguous United States and a rapidly increasing population that makes this topic critical."
