In 2000, NOAA planted 500 square metres of cordgrass and added oyster shell on Pivers Island; the shell mound grew into a living oyster reef

A North Carolina living shoreline project stabilized the coast using cordgrass and oyster shells. This established marsh habitat faced two major hurricane tests in 2011 and 2018. NOAA assessments revealed substantially less erosion compared to hardened shorelines during these storms. The project demonstrated the resilience of planted marshes and oyster…

In 2016, New Smyrna Beach faced Hurricane Matthew with planted living shorelines; winds topped 90 mph, yet the demonstration structures remained standing

The living shoreline initiative in New Smyrna Beach demonstrated remarkable resilience during Hurricane Matthew, effectively absorbing the storm's wave energy. This natural barrier mitigated significant erosion and structural damage, showcasing the superiority of plants and sand against conventional hardened structures. Research by NOAA supports the effectiveness of living shorelines over…

In North Carolina, a living shoreline project has proven effective in combating significant erosion, relying on natural materials like marsh grass and oyster shells rather than traditional concrete barriers. The Pivers Island marsh not only withstood the force of hurricanes Irene and Florence but also served as a habitat for…

In 2003, Florida's Manatee County acquired 482 acres of farmland for restoration. 5 years later, Robinson Preserve opened, and today 135 acres of coastal habitat are restored fueling $32.7 million in economic activity

At Robinson Preserve, restoration specialists designed protected water features that made it harder for larger predatory fish to reach juvenile fish. Strategic mangrove plantings and restricted-access water areas helped recreate conditions similar to natural coastal ponds and creeks.

In 2010, federal wildlife trustees secured $2.65 million for San Francisco Bay tidal marsh restoration. 5 years later, tidal waters returned to 1,250 acres at Cullinan Ranch

San Francisco Bay tidal marshes are being restored for a reason that reaches far beyond wildlife. These wetlands filter polluted water and help protect shorelines from erosion, storms and floods. They also support fisheries and endangered species. At Cullinan Ranch and Dotson Family Marsh, restoration is rebuilding damaged tidal marsh…

Science says sand isn’t always made from rocks: Some beaches are built from the remains of living things

The next time you stroll along a white tropical beach, remember that the sand beneath your feet may have a far more complex origin than eroded mountains or ancient rocks. Some grains may have traveled through coral reefs, formed within microscopic organisms, broken away from algae or even been created…

In 2001, NOAA launched a restoration program after a $64 million Montrose settlement. 24 years later, a rebuilt Palos Verdes reef in California had boosted fish biomass by over 150%

Two decades after a $64 million settlement funded coastal recovery, California’s Palos Verdes reef is thriving. Engineers placed 70,000 tons of granite rock across 30 acres of seabed. These elevated structures prevent shifting silt from smothering marine habitat. Today, native giant kelp has returned, and fish biomass across the rebuilt…

In the 1950s, US nuclear tests at Bikini and Enewetak left carbon-14 traces in Guam coral, revealing how nuclear fallout travelled across the Pacific

Guam's coral provides fascinating insights into the carbon-14 spikes resulting from US nuclear tests in the 1950s. Evidence shows that fallout from these tests journeyed to Guam through Pacific currents, with Operation Castle in 1954 leaving the most pronounced mark. The coral's growth layers function as a natural record of…

In 1986, Florida sank this 189-foot ship off the Florida Keys; decades later, its stripped superstructure is covered in sponges, corals and hydroids

The Thunderbolt, a former military and research vessel, now serves as an artificial reef off Marathon in the Florida Keys. It was intentionally sunk in 1986, and over the decades, marine organisms have colonised the wreck, turning it into a vibrant underwater habitat. The structure provides shelter and surfaces for…
