Julie R. Beagle, Environmental Planning Section Chief and Engineering With Nature Program Manager, USACE
Julie Beagle, Environmental Planning Section Chief and Engineering With Nature Program Manager, outlines the reasons EWN is critical as an approach in the San Francisco Bay Area, and describes some successes, challenges, and paths forward as the USACE embraces Engineering With Nature. As sea levels continue to rise, and climate impacts worsen, communities will need to adapt the San Francisco Bay shoreline and contributing watersheds to create greater social, economic, and ecological resilience. Home to rivers, beaches, wetlands, marinas, ports, landfills, lifeline infrastructure, residential neighborhoods and more, San Francisco Bay’s shoreline and contributing watersheds are diverse, which means there is no one-size-fits-all solution to increased flooding.
The N-EWN Knowledge Series offers 1 Continuing Education Credit (CEC) per seminar. This Series is presented by N-EWN, Limnotech, the University of Georgia, and USACE ERDC.
