## Resource

Sand on the East Coast moves north to south. Sea level depends on the tide. We dig into the science of sand with Dr. Lenore Tedesco from The Wetlands Institute ( https://wetlandsinstitute.org/ )! Rising sea levels threaten marshes and beaches, underscoring vital marsh restoration projects. Beach nourishment provides short-term relief from tidal flooding, but faces long-term sustainability challenges. Experience Tidal Flooding Talk every Tuesday at 7PM, America’s leading show on coastal flooding resilience. Hosted by the New Jersey Coastal Coalition, which formed after Superstorm Sandy in 2012, it empowers leaders with dynamic workshops. Visit njcoastalcoalition.com to learn more!
