"Living Shorelines" (15min) deals with the importance of coastal ecosystems (e.g. mangroves, seagrass beds, coral reefs) in protecting shorelines and vulnerable coastal communities against storm surges and sea-level rise. The degradation and removal of these natural barriers is now recognised as a major concern for the region. The video highlights examples of mangrove restoration from Belize and Guyana and of the benefits of combining both soft and hard engineering in coastal protection from Barbados.
