NYC has over 520 miles of coastline. 700,000+ residents live in buildings that are physically vulnerable to coastal flooding & sea level rise. @ourwaterfront echoes @JustinBrannan @costa4Ny: we need to ensure future funding for NYC Mayor's Office of Resiliency in the City budget!

BIRD is coming to Rhode Island (virtually!) to discuss #US-#Israel R&D collaboration and eligibility for grants of up to $1M for promising 🇺🇸-🇮🇱 tech ventures.

How does #nature make concrete stronger?

Marine life like oysters and kelps attach to concrete, & grow into a layer of bioprotection, helping ECOncrete's #coastalarmor (right 3.5 years) have less chloride penetration & greater strength than traditional concrete (left, 6 years).

The @portofsandiego and @EconcreteL, have launched a three-year pilot project on Harbor Island with COASTALOCK Tide Pool Armor. ECOncrete won the $100,000 #RayofHopePrize in 2020 presented by the Foundation and @BiomimicryInst https://t.co/nFPfXp93ce

We want to know: how important were waterfronts to you during this year of COVID-19 closures? Comment or share with a photo and tell us about your waterfront refuge!

We "ECOncreters" go to the Tel Aviv beach for morning runs or to catch the sunset.

"renewed commitment towards advancing nature-based and climate-smart coastal policies and investments, especially in socially vulnerable waterfront neighborhoods.” Let's build the future ports and waterfronts in a nature inclusive manner and not settle for concrete desserts

[Waterfront Alliance @OurWaterfront]

Thank you for a week of strong environmental action @POTUS! Now let’s prioritize coastal resilience initiatives and forward-thinking maritime policy. Invest in our waterways and waterfronts! @NYSANEWS @harborestuary #WaterWire #OurWaterfront
