Project Description
A collaborative team will evaluate the success of living shoreline restoration projects in three estuarine systems across the Florida Panhandle to better inform restoration targets and assess local and regionalized ecosystem services. Partners will monitor and assess existing restoration project performance by combining historical shoreline mapping, existing monitoring data, and newly collected data from existing restoration sites to determine living shoreline restoration success and additional benefits such as nitrogen storage and removal, fish community composition, and economic impact to the local economy.
