Students pursuing their Masters in Operational Oceanography (MOO) recently undertook a field trip to Sea Bright, New Jersey, where they inspected high-frequency (HF) radar stations critical for real-time monitoring of coastal ocean currents. The MOO students were also joined by students participating in the Research Internships in Ocean Sciences (RIOS)...
Living seawalls can offer some of the benefits of living shorelines Armoring shorelines with hardened substances protects the shore, but it generally does not offer the benefits of nature-based alternatives in terms of habitat provision and other ecosystem services. Researchers are envisioning ways to expand shoreline design options to include...
