New Paper Alert! Check out this group effort on salt marsh restoration in stressful environmental conditions (i.e., California drought). Spoiler: Vegetation success in this restoration project was contingent on whether the restoration occurred in a drought or rainy year!

I forgot to post from the amazing Florida Sea Grant SEAS WAG meeting last week. But, as I sit here today watching more possible devastating cuts to NOAA, wanted to post a reminder that we are more than just weather - but coastal resilience. E.g, restoring mangroves destroyed by Hurricane Milton.

New paper t.co/q5YuiEZGLt led by @arizonastateuni.bsky.social PhD student Yilei Yu! 56% of flood-prone buildings in Houston are located outside of FEMA’s 100-year flood zones. These “overlooked” zones are disproportionately home to buildings that are lower quality and often uninsured.
