coastal restoration programs

Coastal restoration programs aim to repair and protect shoreline environments, often addressing damage from development, storms, or rising sea levels. These initiatives can involve planting native vegetation like mangroves and marsh grasses, restoring wetlands, rebuilding dunes, and removing invasive species. The goal is to improve natural habitats, reduce flooding, and maintain healthy ecosystems that support wildlife and provide protection for coastal communities. By restoring these areas, programs help ensure the coast remains resilient, biologically diverse, and better able to withstand future environmental challenges.
