Each year our climate extremes become more dramatic and harder to recover from.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]Because we’re living out of harmony with natural ecosystems, the damage is greater and more negatively impactful. Resilience design projects involve adaptation to climate disruptions — ensuring our ecosystems are strong and rooted enough to withstand extreme weather events, and fluid enough to change and recover easily when those events cause major damage.

Work in this area includes: living shorelines; natural wetlands and marshes for stormwater storage and habitat restoration; water harvesting and storage systems; and permaculture projects that improve our depleted soils.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]Creating natural living shorelines along water edges improves water quality and supports vital marine ecosystems. Productive submerged aquaculture gardens contribute greatly to the survival of our coastal habitats.
