NYC has over 520 miles of coastline. 700,000+ residents live in buildings that are physically vulnerable to coastal flooding & sea level rise. @ourwaterfront echoes @JustinBrannan @costa4Ny: we need to ensure future funding for NYC Mayor's Office of Resiliency in the City budget!
Federal funding that pays for staff in the Mayor's Office of Resiliency and other climate crisis-focused positions across NYC will soon run out.
Two councilmembers & the comptroller say the city has to commit to replace that money to sustain MOR

Thanks @YanaLukeman! @EconcreteL is an impressive Israeli company with a powerhouse CEO @FinkelPerkol.
This is a a great example how collaboration funding stemming from the US-Israel relationship (a @BIRDFoundation1 funded project) has tangible benefits for Long Island, NY. 🇺🇸🇮🇱Ecological Cable Protection In Long Island Sound marinetechnologynews.com/new…

How does #nature make concrete stronger?
Marine life like oysters and kelps attach to concrete, & grow into a layer of bioprotection, helping ECOncrete's #coastalarmor (right 3.5 years) have less chloride penetration & greater strength than traditional concrete (left, 6 years).

The @portofsandiego and @EconcreteL, have launched a three-year pilot project on Harbor Island with COASTALOCK Tide Pool Armor. ECOncrete won the $100,000 #RayofHopePrize in 2020 presented by the Foundation and @BiomimicryInst en.portnews.ru/news/308424/

ECOncrete's Admix is the "salt and pepper" for stronger, nature-inclusive concrete.

We want to know: how important were waterfronts to you during this year of COVID-19 closures? Comment or share with a photo and tell us about your waterfront refuge!
We "ECOncreters" go to the Tel Aviv beach for morning runs or to catch the sunset.

"renewed commitment towards advancing nature-based and climate-smart coastal policies and investments, especially in socially vulnerable waterfront neighborhoods.” Let's build the future ports and waterfronts in a nature inclusive manner and not settle for concrete desserts
Thank you for a week of strong environmental action @POTUS! Now let’s prioritize coastal resilience initiatives and forward-thinking maritime policy. Invest in our waterways and waterfronts! @NYSANEWS @harborestuary #WaterWire #OurWaterfront
