About this event

The Saco Watershed Collaborative is please to co-host the first of six online webinars in the Environmental Protection Series of 2022! The evolution of innovative methods in coastal stabilization has resulted in an effort by the State of Maine to evaluate living shoreline tools and techniques along the Maine coast. In the spring of 2020, test installations were completed, two in Brunswick and one in Yarmouth. Those who join this session will be brought up to date on the installation and monitoring of these sites.

Fee: $10 per webinar - nonrefundable.

Zoom Link: Will be provided to you upon registration in the automatic follow-up email. We look forward to seeing you!
