Presentation Description:
This presentation delves into the key differences between resiliency planning and project implementation in Florida, emphasizing the technical challenges encountered as solutions transition from concept to construction. With increasing public awareness of coastal vulnerability due to sea level rise and coastal storms, the presentation offers a candid examination of the short- and long-term limitations of popular resiliency solutions. It covers the durability of living shorelines during extreme events, the porosity of seawalls and revetments, and the impact of raising roads on adjacent infrastructure.
