Kraw Lecture: Building Coastal Resilience, Naturally

Climate-related coastal disasters increasingly strain state and national budgets. Further, most current hazard mitigation relies on artificial infrastructure that further degrades nature. Beck’s team shows that coastal habitats can be cost effective for building climate resilience, which helps create opportunities to benefit both people and nature.
