SUMMARY:Resilient Shorelines Workshop
DESCRIPTION:About one-third of Maine’s 5\,408-mile coastline are bluffs\, and prone to erosion. Communities along Washington County’s coasts are experiencing bluff erosion from both powerful winter storms\, and intense summer rains. \nWhile bluff erosion is natural\, for the landowners\, it can be devastating. However\, strategies which harness natural forces can slow bluff erosion Using them\, landowners can create healthy\, natural shorelines responsive to rising sea levels and intense storms. \nTo assist landowners managing bluffs\, Sunrise County Economic Council and the Maine Coastal Program will host a Resilient Shoreline Workshop Series in Machias on October 27th at 5:30 pm at the Lee-Pellon Center. \nThe free workshop will bring coastal geologists\, scientists\, state agency permit reviewers\, and local contractors to help attendees understand shoreline erosion management. At the end of the workshop\, attendees have the option to stay for free practitioner office-hours to receive 15-minute shoreline assessments from experts and local practitioners. \nThis workshop is aimed at homeowners\, property owners\, property managers\, municipal leaders\, and real estate agents. \nLight dinner will be provided. Please register here!
