SUMMARY:Webinar - Coastal Stewardship for Homeowners: How to protect Shor
 eline Properties and support Salmon and Nature.
DESCRIPTION:Coastal Stewardship for Homeowners: How to protect Shoreline 
 Properties and support Salmon and Nature.\n\nThe shorelines of the Pacif
 ic coast are desirable places to live - they offer stunning views, acces
 s to nature and recreation, and provide vibrant habitats for species lik
 e Pacific salmon and forage fish. Unfortunately, with development along 
 the coast, coastal modification structures like seawalls are increasing
 ly impacting these important species. Although coastal modification stru
 ctures are put up to protect shoreline properties and infrastructure, th
 ey can actually exacerbate erosion, degrade, and fail over time leaving 
 the properties they were put in place to protect. \n\nBy using natural 
 substrates and native plants around their property, homeowners can incre
 ase resilience to climate impacts by working with nature. These strategi
 es are typically cheaper to build and maintain and are always more beaut
 iful than traditional seawalls and riprap structures. Nature-based shore
 lines also create habitat for fish and wildlife, filter out pollutants f
 rom runoff before they reach the aquatic environment, and help to store 
 carbon that would otherwise contribute to global warming. Join the Resil
 ient Coasts for Salmon team on June 19th to learn about how we could pro
 mote healthy shorelines that protect our homes. \n\n-------------------
