 ng Breakwaters is an innovative hybrid coastal green-grey infrastructure p
 roject that aims to increase physical\, ecological\, and social resilience
 . The project is located in the waters of Raritan Bay (Lower New York Harb
 or) along the shoreline of Tottenville and Conference House Park\, from Wa
 rds Point in the southwest to Butler Manor Woods in the northeast. The pro
 ject area is a shallow estuary that has historically supported commercial 
 fisheries and shell fisheries. In October 2012\, Superstorm Sandy devastat
 ed Staten Island’s east and south shore neighborhoods.\n\n\n\nThe integrat
 ed purposes of the Living Breakwaters project are three-fold:\n\n\n	Risk Re
 duction: address both event-based and long-term shoreline erosion in order
  to preserve or increase beach width\; attenuate storm waves to improve sa
 fety and prevent damage to buildings and infrastructure. \n	Ecological Enha
 ncement: Increase the diversity of aquatic habitats in the Lower New York 
 Harbor / Raritan Bay (e.g.\, oyster reefs and fish and shellfish habitat)\
 , particularly rocky / hard structured habitat that can function much like
  the oyster reefs.  \n	Social Resiliency: Provide programming that builds a
  community around education on coastal resiliency and ecosystem stewardshi
 p\; foster and encourage community stewardship and citizen science\, and i
 ncrease physical and visual access to the water’s edge and near-shore wate
 rs for recreation\, education\, and stewardship activities. \n\n\n\n\nREGI
 STER\n\n\n\nModerator: Philip Orton (Stevens Institute of Technology)\n\n
 \n\nPanelists:\n\n\n	Kate Orff (Columbia University)\, Founding Principal o
 f Scape Design and Professor at School of Architecture\, Planning and Pres
 ervation\n	Joseph Marrone (Arcadis)\, Associate Vice President/Area Lead\, 
 Urban and Coastal Resiliency\n	Kyle McKay (USACE)\, Research Civil Engineer
  at Engineer Research and Development Center.\n\n\n\n\nThis Innovations in
  Nature-Based Systems for Coastal Protection web panel series brings toget
 her distinguished panels of experts to discuss projects that are at the fo
 refront of nature-based coastal hazard reduction systems in the U.S. and a
 round the world. Scientists\, engineers\, and managers working on these pr
 ojects will discuss successes and lessons learned\, including their planni
 ng and implementation and engagement with the community.\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted
  by the NSF-sponsored Coastlines and People (CoPe) Research Coordination N
 etwork\, all web panels occur noon-1:30 p.m. EST. Please register at the l
 ink above. Contact Dr. Ming Li at mingli@umces.edu\, University of Marylan
