Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to identify the causes of coastal erosion and discuss projections for the future of coastal impacts.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to explain the difference between green and gray stormwater infrastructure and identify appropriate options for shorelines.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to assess the benefits, drawbacks and potential contraindications of creating living shorelines.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to analyze the design process, implementation and adaptive management of living shorelines for a variety of site conditions.
