Join Dr. Kate Sherren (Dalhousie University), Dr. Jeremy Lundholm (Saint Mary’s University), Dr. Alana Pindar (Cape Breton University) and Dr. Danika Van Proosdij (Saint Mary’s University) discuss their work to restore tidal wetlands in the Bay of Fundy Dykelands.

Synopsis: The Fundy Dykelands are a dynamic, working landscape threatened by sea level rise.

Communities are faced with deciding whether to shore up dykes to protect agricultural land, or move dykes back, allowing for tidal wetland restoration. Understanding these issues requires input from the physical, biological and social sciences.

This interdisciplinary panel will discuss how scientists are working with local communities to help restore resilience to our coastlines.
