This bite-sized video explains the benefits of combining natural and constructed systems in gray-green infrastructure.

Adding a right to clean water to Florida's state constitution could aid climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.

Natural features are an effective defense against erosion, storms and flooding – but only if we protect and restore them.

Panelists discussed water-quality issues as part of Florida Atlantic University’s public lecture series, Frontiers in Science

SB 32 would encourage local governments to replant and restore mangroves, and implement incentives to install 'living shorelines.'

In many locations, living shorelines are used to replace failing seawall structures, which results in improved ecosystem functions.

Tropicalization is a global trend, fueled by climate change-induced increases in sea temperatures and marine heatwaves.

According to the report, coral reefs provide $9.9 trillion of economic value each year.
