🌊 Thrilled to announce an exciting collaboration! 🌿 Nearview has been chosen by the Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC) Climate Ready Coast project and Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve to spearhead the development of a Site Suitability Index for coastal nature-based solutions in beautiful Maine!
🚀 Our mission is clear: Identify tidal shoreline sites in southern Maine for specific nature-based solutions addressing erosion and flooding hazards. This groundbreaking project integrates hydrodynamic, geophysical, and ecological data to create a comprehensive assessment that considers the unique challenges of the northeast, including ice effects, storms, and a large tidal range.
🗺️ The result? A cutting-edge web-based mapping tool and application that will empower communities grappling with sea level rise and extreme weather. This tool will help to enhance coastal resilience, and safeguard property, lives, and the precious coastal ecosystems we all cherish.
🌐 Exciting times ahead as we leverage technology to make a real impact on environmental sustainability! Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a vital cause.
Thank you to Justin Schlawin for providing this photo of the (unfortunate) impact of the recent winter storms to the beach and dune system at Reid State Park-Maine in Georgetown, ME. This illustrates exactly how important it is to map the resources of our shorelines, where we need to monitor and protect natural features, and implement nature-based solutions.
