Maryland Funds Nature-Based Flood Defenses

Maryland’s rolling out big coastal flood protection—with $9 million in new grants for nature-based solutions like living shorelines and wetland restoration across nine key counties. This isn’t just about walls; it’s about smart, green infrastructure to shield marinas, roads, trails, and bird habitats from rising waters. Backed by a permanent state resilience initiative, projects are already in design phase, including oyster reefs and stormwater ponds, plus public engagement tools. Applications open mid-July—time to act before the next big storm hits. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
