sea level rise as a landscape application

Within every problem is potential: sea level rise as an opportunity for increased coastal ecology. the unfolding and interplay that occurs on coastal and tidal margins brings with it numerous possibilities for social and ecological engagement. traditional techniques for the control of rising tides focus primarily on the exclusion of flood waters. The work below focuses on the opportunities that SLR may bring to LA.
