Narooma "living shoreline" project 2022

The Nature Conservancy Australia say:

We often talk about how to solve environmental challenges, but rarely about the role nature itself can play. Welcome to breathtakingly beautiful Wagonga Inlet, where we are working with our partners NSW DPI Fisheries , nsw_marineestate, Eurobodalla Shire Council and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water ’s Reef Builder initiative on creating a Living Shoreline. Really, what we are doing is putting together nature’s dream team to fight coastal erosion. A failing seawall will be replaced with saltmarsh and native shoreline plants, with shellfish reefs providing marine habitat to the inlet and support the water quality of these amazing shades of green and blue. Shallow Sydney rock oyster reefs will help buffer shoreline erosion. Shellfish reefs saltmarsh and shoreline vegetation will work together to form an ecosystem that resists erosion. Nature-based solutions such as the Living Shoreline provide benefits that allow people and nature to thrive together. Check out this amazing project here: https://youtu.be/Z04z2MZV2Uo
