Restoring coastal environments could turn them into effective carbon sinks, scientists say.
On Sunday, President Joe Biden announced that he will not seek re-election. This comes after weeks of calls for him to step down amid concerns about his age after a poor debate performance and concerns over his age. Shortly after his announcement, he endorsed his Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination.Times Picayune/New Orleans Advocate's editorial director and columnist, Stephanie Grace joins us for more on what this means for Louisiana and the nation. Next month, three new laws go into effect, tightening restrictions on certain types of photo sharing. The bills signed into law during Louisiana's 2024 legislative session change the definition of what the state considers an illegal “nonconsensual disclosure of a private image.” State Representative Rodney Lyons, D-Harvey, tells us more about these bills and how they support his goals to protect the privacy of his constituents. The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana is well known for their slew of projects that help to revitalize the local environment. Between recycling oyster shells, restoring native plants and providing leadership opportunities for youth, there's no shortage of ways to get involved.

It's the biggest operation of its kind in US history, as the state tries to save its coastline which is vanishing at an alarming rate.We travel to the Mississippi River and the city of New Orleans to see how billions of dollars are being spent to fix the rapid land loss.The project to revert the Mississippi to its land-making pathways could restore ecosystems destroyed by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and create buffers to protect against sea level rise and hurricanes. The Louisiana coastline is disappearing due to human-made and natural factors, such as leveeing the Mississippi for oil and gas infrastructure, erosion, and sea-level rises.And this is having an impact on local wetlands which are eroding, leaving communities vulnerable to storm surges and flooding. Produced and presented by Beth Timmins(Image: Oyster shells painted by members of the community as part of the shorelines project )
Tulane professors Torbjörn (Tor) Törnqvist, a geologist, and Sönke Dangendorf, a coastal engineer and physical oceanographer, join John to talk about sea level rise and coastal restoration, and what could happen to coastal communities if we pass the Paris Agreement global temperature threshold of 1.5-degree Celsius. Sönke has more than 15 years of experience researching mean and extreme sea levels, ocean tides and storm surges and the impact on coastal flooding, and is a member of the NASA Sea-Level Change Team. Tor has been researching the evolution of rivers, deltas, coasts, and shallow oceans in response to climate and sea-level change for more than 20 years.
This week on Radio Marinara, the team dive into all things coastal. The team first speak with Dr David Wright about his work to combat erosion in the Mekong Delta, followed by the weekly update from Deakin University's Dr Elodie Camprasse on where the spider crabs are. They also speak with Professor Agustin Sanchez-Arcilla on REST-COAST, an EU-funded project bringing 38 partners together to assess and improve ecosystem services across nine countries. Last, but certainly not least, the team finish up the show with a discussion with Flossy Sperring about the penguins of St Kilda and how Earthcare St Kilda is working with Parks Victoria to develop around the penguin colony.

Kline will be one of the featured speakers at the annual Economic & Real Estate Forecast Symposium hosted by the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of Realtors on Oct. 5. At the event, experts in real estate, insurance and finance will tackle the theme “Adapting to Unpredictability.”
Tommy talks with Katie Freer and Todd Baker, Project Managers for the Coastal Restoration and Protection Authority.
Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) once swam along the North Coast of California, but 18th- and 19th-century fur trappers nearly caused the species to go extinct. Statewide, only one remnant population of approximately fifty individuals was left in Big Sur by the 1930s. Today, thanks to concerted efforts, more than 3,000 sea otters call California home from that small initial remaining population. While recovery efforts have increased the overall population, sea otters are still only occupy a narrow belt, roughly from Santa Cruz to Point Conception, of their historic range. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has studied the feasibility of sea otter reintroduction efforts and is hosting open houses across the North Coast to discuss potential reintroduction. Guests Chanel Hason of the Elakha Alliance and Andrew Johnson of Defenders of Wildlife join the show to discuss the vital role that sea otters play in ocean ecosystems and their work to facilitate sea otter introduction.

Km Reyher joins Tommy to talk about the importance of wetlands when it comes to hurricane protection.
Oysters' Role in Living ShorelinesOysters can serve as an important environmental solution to shoreline restoration. Oyster reefs can provide habitat for hundreds of marine species, improve water quality (as an adult oyster can filter up to fifty gallons of water a day), and protect against erosion and storm surges. Oysters also help stabilize sediments and wave energy, which reduces coastal erosion and the impacts of sea-level rise. As filter feeders, oysters help remove excess nutrients from the water and maintain healthy water quality. This ecosystem service is especially important with urban and agricultural run-off entering waterways, as oysters filter excess nitrogen, which can help prevent harmful algal blooms. Oyster restoration is important for conservation as well, as within the past two hundred years nearly 85% of global oyster reefs have been lost from over harvesting, wetland loss, human development, pollution, and other anthropogenic factors. Oyster reefs also serve as natural flood control and sea-level rise solutions, and compared to man-made solutions like seawalls and levees, oyster reefs are more cost-effective and less disruptive to the environment. Oyster reef restoration is now being used for coastlines throughout the US, including New York, Moss Landing, and Newport Beach.Orange County Coastkeeper's ApproachOrange County Coastkeeper has led the shoreline restoration in Newport Beach since 2017, re-introducing both native Olympia oysters and native eelgrass. To build a habitats where Oysters could settle in Upper Newport Bay, Coastkeeper and its volunteers hand-sewed over 500 bags, using coconut coir, to transport 40,000 pounds of Pacific oyster shells. Many of the oyster shells were donated by local restaurants. Coconut coir is a natural fiber, allowing Orange County Coastkeeper to avoid introducing any plastics during the restoration process. Since the initial restoration, CoastKeeper has been monitoring the restored oyster beds yearly and found signs of healthier and more sustainable coastline. The Orange County Coastkeeper has also worked to restore eelgrass in the Upper Newport Bay. Eelgrass is a shallow coastal seagrass and foundational species, as it provides habitat and food for many juvenile fish, lobsters, and shellfish. Eelgrass has been targeted for restoration because it provides many critical ecosystem services from oxygen production and nutrient cycling, to providing “carbon service” as it absorbs carbon which helps fight ocean acidification. In 2012, Orange County Coastkeeper worked in collaboration with the Department of Fish and Wildlife staff at the Back Bay Science Center to plant 0.3 acres of eelgrass. The goals of their restoration were to increase the diversity or abundance of native species, establish a sustainable eelgrass habitat and restore the economic value of the recreational and commercial fishery in the Bay. The Coastkeeper's efforts have been successful: Upper Newport Bay now has over one acre of eelgrass habitat. Claire Arre is the Orange County Coastkeeper's Marine Restoration Director. In her role, she manages the shoreline restoration program and works to restore the health of Orange County waters. Arre graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology and received her Master of Science degree in BIology from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. In her free time, Claire volunteers at Cabrillo Marine Aquarium as a Whale Watch naturalist.

Welcome back to Part 2 of Kill Your Lawn with Danny Molinaro. If you didn't get a chance to listen to Part 1 last week, I recommend you go back and get caught up on this really interesting and important discussion about the impact that lawns are having on the natural world in North America. We also tiptoe our way into the aquatic equivalent of the lawn that is executed around the country in coastal landscapes, particularly coastal towns and cities, that is having the same negative impacts, but has established solutions.Danny talks about plant pallets to improve the quality of your lawn, some of his favorites, and some that he would love to see a lot more of. We also tiptoe in the wetlands and talk about rip rap, lawn equivalent management strategies, and the impact of having removed and degraded coastal environments.Grab a drink for this riveting discussion about why we need to kill our lawns (and their equivalents) and continue moving in the direction of enhanced and vibrant ecosystems that will support both us, wildlife, and earth systems.You can support the show by following it on all social media platforms and wherever you stream your podcasts.

Over half of New Orleans is below sea level, and it used to be entirely above it. What is happening, how is it impacting the lives of those in Louisiana, and what can be done about it? Tune in for the answers, and learn: Why water levees speed up the rate of organic material decomposition, and why it's problematic Various ways in which land loss and subsidence occurs How trees offer resistance to storm surges Michael Hopkins is Assistant Director of Pontchartrain Conservancy (PC), a nonprofit organization whose aim is promote environmental sustainability and address serious environmental challenges in the Lake Pontchartrain Basin, a 10,000 square mile watershed in Louisiana. Over the past 100 years, more than 2,000 square miles of coastal Louisiana have disappeared, detrimentally impacting the lives of so many. Hopkins is a geologist whose focus at PC has been on coastal monitoring and restoration. Much of his work centers around subsidence, which is the gradual sinking of land. In this region of Louisiana, subsidence contributes significantly to various environmental issues. And while it is a natural process in a delta, the situation is this area is unique because it has been cut off from the Mississippi River, which means there is no source of new sediment to maintain land elevation. Hopkins explains the details of his work and the restoration strategy at PC, which involves the science of bringing back ridges, marshes, and swamps, as well as a process called sediment diversion to combat land loss.

Five years ago, the Aage V. Jensen foundation deliberately flooded a piece of drained, coastal land at Gyldensteen on North Funen in Denmark. The dikes were opened in three places, the seawater flowed in and quickly covered a 214 ha area which had previously been agricultural land. Furthermore, a freshwater lake was created of 144 ha. Ever since, biologists from the University of Southern Denmark have followed the return of nature and observed how nutrients, greenhouse gases, flora and fauna in the wetlands have changed and developed ever since.This intentional flooding can be used as a case study to see the effects of sea-level rise.Susan Guldberg is a PhD student in the ecology group in the Biology Department at the University of Southern Denmark.Follow the project at bit.ly/33HlfioGet in touch with the podcast at scienceandbeers@gmail.comSupport the podcast at patreon.com/scienceandbeers See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

While efforts move forward to figure out ways to reduce global greenhouse gases and carbon emissions, efforts are also moving forward to figure out ways to sequester carbon. All along we've known marshes and coastal wetlands were good for habitat and fisheries and storm buffering and carbon storage, but the amount these blue/green edges can pull carbon out of the atmosphere, store it and provide a multitude of ecosystem services is a win win for the environment. Learn about how agencies and organizations are working to advance restoration of wetlands through local and national efforts.
