Florida coastlines are subject to erosion due to human and natural causes, leaving communities, infrastructure and the beach ecosystem vulnerable to coastal storms and flooding. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Jacksonville District, has been working to find nature-based solutions to play a role in engineering resilience and managing risks. USACE strives to engineer with nature to reduce the impacts caused by coastal storms, flooding, erosion and climate change. Jacksonville District chief, Water Resources Engineering Branch, Jason Engle discusses Coastal Storm Risk Management and engineering in nature. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Video by Brigida I.
