Living shoreline aims to mitigate flooding, erosion in Lewes, Delaware

Lewes, Delaware faces tidal flooding and erosion due to climate change, prompting University of Delaware researchers to develop a hybrid living shoreline with native grasses, oyster shells, and artificial domes. The project, in collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, aims to reduce infrastructure damage, protect marine habitats, and support local businesses affected by rising seas and storms.
