SUMMARY:The Preserve - A Nature Based Solution
DESCRIPTION:Join Karla Klay\, Executive Director of Artist Boat to hear about their largest project and their clearest nature-based solution: the Coastal Heritage Preserve on West Galveston Island. Bayside wetlands improve water quality\, support fisheries\, and buffer storms. Coastal prairies absorb floodwaters and sequester carbon. Dunes and beaches guard against erosion from a high-energy coast. These habitats are in steep decline under pressure from development\, sea-level rise\, erosion\, and subsidence. Protecting land before it’s fragmented is the most cost-effective\, durable intervention we have. Since 2010\, Artist Boat has assembled a 1\,039-acre sanctuary with a with a goal of 1\,400 acres.
