John McCombs, from Lynker's NOAA Office for Coastal Management team, presented at the National Association of Wetland Managers Annual Meeting in Shepherdstown, WV recently. He shared insights on NOAA's Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) and the nationwide high-resolution (1m) land cover product. The event, attended by over 150 leaders in wetland management, sparked interest in C-CAP data for floodplain management, land use planning, and climate adaptation. Exciting developments ahead!

The Bureau of Land Management is poised to finalize a number of rules that will shape how resource management plans account for the changing climate. My colleagues pulled together all of Pew's resources, including some of the plans I've been working on, for a 1-stop shop. #Conservation #ClimateChange #publiclands https://lnkd.in/gZAh3KTG

Publisher, UKAuthority.com & UKA Live - hyper-focused on public sector DDaT for the public good. Follow @UKAuthority for the latest headlines.
The Environment Agency has unveiled a new #map based #digital tool to support the shoreline management of England’s coasts - the Shoreline Management Plan Explorer will enable local planners and coastal practitioners to find the information they need more easily, and to help the agency monitor the risks of flooding and erosion. It is also available to the public to promote understanding of the risks of coastal flooding and erosion, along with the management approaches and actions being taken. https://lnkd.in/eAraaSy2

This new high-resolution data from NOAA is useful across the board, but it is especially valuable for small- and mid-sized local governments that might not have the resources to independently secure such detailed data for planning purposes. Free and public availability of such data really lowers the bar for entry into the world of careful planning and analysis needed to adapt to changing coasts and climates. This is a great example of government empowering communities through provision of a public good. Kudos to NOAA for making this happen.
Excited for the new high resolution (1 meter) land cover data that are now available for the coastal zone. Phase one includes impervious, water bodies, and canopy layers. Pretty amazing detail -- I could see the trees in my backyard! This article highlights the multiple possible applications. https://lnkd.in/e6XHp6Sm

Rerouting Enbridge Line 5 around the edge of the Bad River Reservation is not a solution. The proposed route still will be within the Bad River watershed, which means that any rupture would contaminate tribal lands. https://lnkd.in/g85yeCCH

A farmhouse in Trimingham, North Norfolk, hanging on the edge of a cliff due to coastal erosion is scheduled for demolition. The property has seen significant danger since late March of massive cliff collapse. This is no anomaly as North Norfolk is home to some of Europe's fastest eroding coastlines, with projections from the district council estimating the loss of over 1,000 homes to erosion in the next century. Erosion control measures including expansion of the Environment Agency-funded coastal protection schemes and the Coastwise Scheme aim to help affected communities transition inland. There are ongoing efforts to understand coastal erosion better and develop responses through research collaborations between the British Geological Survey, University of East Anglia, and Norfolk District Council. Despite these initiatives, there currently isn't a government compensation scheme for homeowners like that of the farmhouse.

KBR’s Michael Di Matteo is making waves in flood management! 🌊 His proposal to combine smart pond functionality with floating wetlands has the potential to completely transform Australia’s approach to stormwater and flood management, while also improving #biodiversity. Check out his presentation at #ozwater this Thursday #floodwater #naturepositive #AccelerateAction #KBRAustralia #Ozwater24
Excited to be presenting tomorrow at #Ozwater24 tomorrow Thurs 2 May in room 213 at 11:25am. The pond half full - Smart tech for improving flood management introduces a combination of two recent space-saving stormwater management innovations: smart ponds and floating wetlands. This will include some great content on floating wetlands by co-author Dr. Tom Headley from Wetland & Ecological Treatment Systems. #Water #AcceleratingAction #TeamKBR #KBRAustralia Josh Eggleton Zaki Matar Luiza Moreira Amanda C.

The first step of any peatland restoration project? An on site feasibility Study! By visiting the site for this highly critical survey, we confirm the presence of any and all mapped features, checking the accuracy of data collected by remote sensing and establishing the eligibility of the project. Peat depths are recorded, condition categories reviewed and, herbivore impacts assessed. This forms the first stage of our comprehensive, intelligent approach. In doing so we mitigate any potential risks thereby giving landowers complete peace of mind and ensuring all project deliverables are captured and achieved. Considering peatland restoration for your land? Get in touch with us: https://buff.ly/3xf8ahh 📸 A shot of some of our team undertaking a ground truthing survey near Spean Bridge. #ClimateCrisis #PeatlandRestoration #ScottishPeatland #ClimateAction #CarbonEmissions #GenerationRestoration

Recreation & Open Space Planner at Midcoast Council | Member of Parks & Leisure Australia (PLA) National Advisory | JP, Mmnt, ASM, NEM, DFSM, CPLP
Just letting my network know that I will be presenting on the "Parks as Places" webinar at the end of Feb. My specific presentation will be looking at #sustainability and #mitigation strategies that #localgovernment are implementing to reduce the impact of extreme weather events on #parks , reserves and in this case #coastal areas. (I am not receiving any remuneration, I am purely passing on my knowledge). The link to register is below. https://lnkd.in/djuvkDp6
