Coastal waterways face numerous threats—from rising sea levels to storm surge flooding to pollution. So a pilot project is underway in Palo Alto, California, to help jointly address some of these issues. The city plans to build horizontal levees in San Francisco Bay. It is a sloping wetland that provides a transition between the open bay and the highly developed coast. Heidi Nutters helps lead the program in partnership with the San Francisco Estuary Partnership. Nutters: “Wetlands have amazing buffering capabilities that reduce the impact of wave action during storms.” The project also offers another benefit. It helps eliminate pollution…
