The study heard round the region📰🌊 Bring your questions and be prepared to learn about Torbjörn Törnqvist's recently published research, which sparked debate about the future of New Orleans. Register: https://ow.ly/WXoh50ZwKVz

In April, volunteers helped construct this living shoreline with 250 tons of recycled shells. Since then, sediment has been filling in behind the reef. Sediment accretion provides erosion control & helps maintain the land's elevation. It's a good sign that this restoration project is taking effect!🦪
