The Latest Trends in Coastal Armoring
from American Shoreline Podcast Network · host The American Shoreline Podcast Network
On this episode, Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham examine three case studies in coastal armoring policies from current events: the sudden and unexpected stoppage of the USACE's NY & NJ Harbor & Tributaries Focus Area Feasibility Study (HATS), the California Coastal Commission's rejection of a coastal development permit in Niguel Shores in Orange County; and, the USACE Florida Keys coastal protection feasibility study, which will recommend no armoring and rather focus on buy outs, retreat, and land use planning. We conclude with a fun discussion on the fascinating history of ships cats. Only on the American Shoreline Podcast!
