 Texas Coastal Spine project includes the examination and feasibility analy
 sis of storm surge risk-reduction measures for the Houston/Galveston Regio
 n\, Matagorda\, and South Padre Island. The project aims to minimize econo
 mic damage from coastal storm surge\, inland and Gulf shoreline erosion\, 
 loss of threatened and endangered critical habitats\, and disrupted hydrol
 ogy. This will be accomplished through a multiple lines of defense strateg
 y that combines structural\, nature-based\, and non-structural aspects to 
 form resilient\, redundant\, robust\, and adaptable strategies that promot
 e life safety. The project also identifies nationally significant environm
 ental restoration strategies along the entire Texas coast. These ecosystem
  restoration projects focus on restoring fish and wildlife habitat\, impro
 ving hydrologic connectivity\, creating and restoring oyster reefs\, and i
 mplementing sediment management. The project is currently in the study pha
 se\, with a record of decision scheduled for 2021.\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n
 Moderator: Michelle Hummel (University of Texas at Arlington)\n\n\n\nPanel
 ists:\n\n\n	Coraggio Maglio (USACE Galveston)\, Chief of Hydraulics and Hyd
 rology Branch\n	Kelly Burks-Cope (USACE Galveston) Research Ecologist\n	Tony
  Williams (Texas General Land Office)\, Environmental Review Coordinator\n
 	Meri Davlasheridze (TAMU-Galveston)\, Assistant Professor at Department of
  Marine and Coastal Environmental Science \n\n\n\n\nThis Innovations in Na
 ture-Based Systems for Coastal Protection web panel series brings together
  distinguished panels of experts to discuss projects that are at the foref
 ront of nature-based coastal hazard reduction systems in the U.S. and arou
 nd the world. Scientists\, engineers\, and managers working on these proje
 cts will discuss successes and lessons learned\, including their planning 
 and implementation and engagement with the community.\n\n\n\nHosted by the
  NSF-sponsored Coastlines and People (CoPe) Research Coordination Network\
 , all web panels occur noon-1:30 p.m. EST. Please register at the link abo
