"Examining the resilience of coastal habitats along the Delaware Bay in a time of climate change"
Will Helt, Director of Oceans & Coasts, The Nature Conservancy
Wednesday, November 26, 2025
3pm-4pm
SMAST E 101-103 and via Zoom
Abstract:
The Delaware Bayshore supports a broad diversity of marine life and migratory birds in addition to providing ecosystem services to its coastal communities. As the lowest mean-lying state in the US, Delaware’s coastline is also projected to experience profound change due to increasing sea level rise and extreme weather events. As practitioners in coastal resilience, we at The Nature Conservancy will share how we, along with our partners, approach ensuring these critical habitats remain productive through future climate change scenarios, as well as the challenges we face.
