Nature-based solutions (NBS) are of growing interest in many parts of the world as scientists, engineers, policymakers, and others look for new ways to address climate change challenges. In S7, E2, host Sarah Thorne is joined by EWN cohosts Burton Suedel, and Amanda Tritinger. Their guest is Paul Cruz, Sr. Program Manager in International and Interagency Services in the USACE's Pacific Ocean Division. They're talking about advancing NBS by building relationships with colleagues in the Pacific region.With a military background and experience in planning and security cooperation, Paul describes his work as: “I tell people I went from the 8-crayon box set to the 200-crayon box set with a pencil sharpener on the back, working with all these scientists, engineers, and research personnel on new and exciting topics and capabilities that we bring to the table as we engage our allies and partners all around Asia. And certainly EWN was one of those capabilities.”While assisting the Philippine Navy with dredging efforts for their Navy Bases, Paul met with the Philippine Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). “We took advantage of the opportunity to support their dredging challenges because it was helping facilitate the military side, and we started to see a real growing relationship between the USACE and the DPWH—two agencies that have a lot of the same mission sets.” This led to additional engagements on typhoon recovery and flood control, and reclamation projects with the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources.In March 2023, Amanda participated in a technical exchange hosted by the Taiwan Water Resources Agency (TWRA). Over 100 participants from academia, local and federal agencies, and NGOs took part and expressed a great deal of interest in the knowledge that the USACE and TWRA had to share. As Amanda notes, “We enjoyed participating in the panel. I believe to this day we're applying what we learned and brought home to our respective countries.” Burton followed this up in October 2023, attending the Taiwan International Water Week hosted by TWRA. “It was a great opportunity to share some of our best practices and try to relate them in ways that the next generation of professionals—scientists, biologists, engineers, and other disciplines—can pick up on.”In the Portland District in 2022 and in the Seattle District in 2023, USACE hosted technical exchanges with delegations from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism (MLIT). Both countries face similar issues in their coastal environments. As Amanda describes it, “I saw a lot was multi-issue problems in Japan with compounding effects—flooding, plus wave action on storm events, and the most subsidence I'd ever seen, plus the risk of volcanic activity. While multibenefit may be seen as nicety for us, for Japan, it's a necessity.”These examples underscore the value of relationships in the Pacific Region. As Paul notes, “From a military perspective, we don't do anything anymore alone. It's always together.” For Burton, “To me, it's mutual learning. I'm always pleasantly surprised how engaged and engaging the participants are and how much progress they have made to incorporate innovative EWN principles and practices into their projects.” Amanda adds: “Building deep relationships that are sustainable is so important. I think to progress the practice and support a sustainable future, we need to engineer with nature, but we need to engineer with humanity too.”For more information and resource links, please visit the EWN Podcast page on the EWN website at https://www.engineeringwithnature.org/ • Amanda Tritinger at LinkedIn• Burton Suedel at LinkedIn• Paul Cruz at LinkedIn

As fall gets into full swing, we're kicking off the second half of Season 6 of the EWN Podcast by talking with members of the EWN leadership team about what they've been working on and what's ahead. In Episode 5, host Sarah Thorne is joined by cohost Jeff King, National Lead of the EWN; cohost Amanda Tritinger, Deputy Program Manager, EWN; and Courtney Chambers, Communications Lead, EWN.The summer of 2023 was an unprecedented summer in many ways. As Sarah notes, “Mother Nature certainly demonstrated that climate change is upon us.” Jeff agrees, revisiting the topic Canada's worst wildfire season ever, covered in Season 6, Episode 4, as well as the wildfires that devastated Lahaina, Hawaii. He also talks about the extreme rainfall and flooding in the southwest caused by Tropical Storm Hillary and the extraordinary flooding and devastation caused by Hurricane Idalia to the big bend area of Florida. As Jeff notes, “People in all parts of the US, Canada, and around the world are experiencing the effects of climate change firsthand.” This global wakeup call is challenging and motivating for the EWN Program. Jeff notes that there are 49 active research projects being led by personnel at the USACE Engineer Research and Development Center to address the climate change imperative by integrating nature-based solutions.As Communications Lead, Courtney Chambers is responsible for sharing the incredible work that is going on with EWN. In her discussion with Sarah, Courtney describes some of what she has been doing to support the development and promotion of publications critical to broadening the reach of EWN, including the next volume of the EWN Atlas series, which captures the essence of EWN and nature-based solutions through images. As Courtney notes, “If you've seen Atlas I or II, you know that these books really showcase the potential for EWN and the diversity they can include.” Sarah adds, “You're helping to share the stories of all of the brilliant scientists, engineers, landscape architects, and other collaborators—and the EWN projects that they're working on—to inspire others. It's important work.”Sarah also speaks with Amanda Tritinger. Amanda shares highlights from her recent trip to Taiwan, coordinated with the USACE Pacific Ocean Division (POD). She was invited to talk about opportunities to engineer with nature as part of the information and technology exchange with the Taiwan Water Resource Agency. “The TWRA has a lot of really cool projects. It was exciting to share what EWN has going on but also to learn a lot of what Taiwan has been doing.” Amanda notes that through the POD they have been involved with a lot of opportunities in Southeast Asia with colleagues in Japan and Vietnam. “It's really exciting that the world is a big place and what seems like a problem can be its own solution through the use of natural infrastructure and better understanding the environment around us.”In closing, Jeff notes, “The climate change that we've all been experiencing is really challenging and motivating our EWN colleagues and collaborators to be innovative—to conduct research and field work on a range of projects that can help mitigate the impacts of climate change and help communities adapt and become more resilient. I really look forward to sharing some of the truly groundbreaking work underway on future episodes of the EWN Podcast. I don't think we're going to run out of interesting things to share with our listeners!!”For more information and resource links, please visit the EWN Podcast page on the EWN website at https://www.engineeringwithnature.org/ • Jeff King at LinkedIn• Amanda Tritinger at LinkedIn• Courtney Chambers at LinkedInThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5872676/advertisement

A lot of sightings of black bears the last couple of weeks in the mid-state area, and TWRA officials expect even more as the bears look to reclaim territory. Lee Maddox: Expanding Bear Population: Hello and welcome again everyone for Tennessee Home and Farm Radio. I'm Lee Maddox Dan Gibbs: Bears have slowly reclaiming their, their former territory. Lee Maddox: A lot of sightings of black bears the last couple of weeks in the mid state area. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's Black Bear Coordinator, Dan Gibbs, Dan Gibbs: We started getting reports about two weeks ago of a bear sighting and Lewis County. We had some reports I believe in the Marshall County area maybe Bedford then Maury and Williamson and then so the one that's gotten the most attention is the one that was in South Nashville. The last I got on that one it seems like that bear is found his way over into Rutherford county now Lee Maddox: Dan Gibbs says these sightings which are now more frequent with more security and wildlife cameras now in place are only natural for the bears to look to explore and reclaim where they once were prevalent. Dan Gibbs: Tennessee historically the entire state had black bears from one end to the other. The Mississippi River bottoms and Tennessee River bottoms and all those areas held a lot of bear Lee Maddox: Gibbs says folks in East Tennessee had been more accustomed to black bear sightings in recent years. And he says a lot of information can be found at bearwise.org to help residents and landowners know what to expect and how to react when these encounters occur. Dan Gibbs: If you hear about a bear in the area, you need to take down bird feeders that you may have out secure trash by either taking it to convenience center or try to store it in a garage or something like that and and get your pet food up. Don't feed pets outside. If people do those three simple things. The bear may move through their through their property, but if he finds no reason to hang around to keep moving, Lee Maddox: And Gibbs says black bears rarely become aggressive when encountered and again for more detailed info visit bearwise.org for Tennessee Home and Farm Radio, I'm Lea Maddox

This week we are joined by Biologist Mike Jolley who is the Region 3 Reservoir Fisheries Manager in Tennessee. In this conversation Mike talks about the greatest risk to black bass fisheries (Largemouth, Smallmouth and Spotted Bass) is the Alabama Bass. Alabama Bass have been introduced to waterways most likely by anglers where they are not native and this is a HUGE issue especially for Smallmouth Bass. Mike explains how Alabama Bass could destroy trophy Smallmouth fisheries like Dale Hollow Lake and Chickamauga through hybridizing with the native Smallmouth. Alabama Bass look so similar to native Spotted Bass that you can only really tell a difference by using genetic testing. This is a must listen to episode to understand was is at stake for our Smallmouth Reservoirs and other quality black bass fisheries.

The state of Tennessee is known for its rich outdoors heritage. For generations, outdoor enthusiasts from around the world have been enjoying Tennessee's great outdoors by hunting, fishing, and trapping. However, the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency (TWRA) has been making changes to the regulations governing these activities that have been leaving outdoorsmen disappointed. Today's episode of the Back to the Lodge featured a special message from the founder of The Legends of the Outdoors National Hall of Fame, Garry Mason. In his message, Garry expresses his opinions on the changes to TWRA regulations and their implications for hunters. The Legends of the Outdoors National Hall of Fame has been established to recognize those outdoor sportsmen and sportswomen who, through countless hours of hard work and devotion to the outdoors, in both hunting and fishing, have played an integral part in setting the standards and guidelines for the rest of the outdoor world to follow. In Today's Episode02:53 - What keeps the team busy for the next few weeks05:59 - Why outdoorsmen were upset about the changes to the TWRA regulations09:36 - Message from Garry Mason, CEO of the Legends of the Outdoors National Hall of Fame19:59 - Patrick and Will's argument about TWRA regulation changes Favorite Quotes10:35 - "I'm all for creating opportunities.

When most people see or hear the acronym TWRA, they immediately think of the wildlife officer. Many times a wildlife officer is the first person hunters and anglers meet in the wild side of Tennessee. This week we get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to complete the Tennessee Wildlife Officers Training Academy and become a TWRA Wildlife Officer. Special thanks to Captain Andy Rush and Sergeant Dustin Deaton for taking the time to join us this week.

Today on the pod, a book review of Asset Dedication by Stephen Huxley and Brent Burns. Asset Dedication, is an alternative to the 60/40 model discussed in the review of Phil Huber's book Allocators Edge. Time and valuation matter. Each dollar is invested to optimize expected return over the investment horizon for that dollar, up until it is needed. Moreover, long-term returns are relatively predictive, according to Keith Ambachtsheer. I call this combination Time and Return-Weighted Allocation, or TWRA. Risk is not short-term volatility. Risk is permanent loss of capital, and failing to achieve your return objectives. Both Asset Dedication and TWRA address this. The pod also brings in William Green's new book, Richer, Wiser Happier. You can't eat risk-adjusted returns. www.ktdpod.com Sign up for blog and email notifications.
