PROJECT TITLE:
APPLICANTS:
Ex:
South Florida is comprised of several unique ecosystems, each of which serves a plays an
important role. Mangrove habitats not only provide shelter and protection for marine life, but they
protect communities along the coast. Currently our coastlines are decreasing at a rate of a few feet
per year, decreasing the distance between the ocean and big cities such as Miami Beach. Restoring
mangrove fringes along the coastline will protect Miami-Dade County residents and the preserve
the tourism industry.
The natural process of erosion has been exaggerated by increased development and sea level rise
have significantly contributed to our disappearing coastline.
Explain your solution to the problem and why you think it will work
If possible, provide real-life examples of where this technique has been successful
If it is an original solution, provide supporting information are to why you believe it will be
successful
Ex:
Erosion is a natural occurrence that is present along every shoreline and is caused by waves and
currents. Mangroves help to reduce erosion by enhancing the accumulation of sediments along the
shoreline, as well as stabilizing existing substrate. Mangroves also protect the coastline from storm
surges by absorbing wave energy.
