Our December get-together will be held on Thursday, December 9th at 7 pm at the Black Pelican Oceanfront Cafe in the alcove. Come on in, tell the hostess that you're joining OBX Green Drinks!
The Nature Conservancy has recently initiated a climate change adaptation project in Dare County in which oyster restoration is a primary component. Oyster reefs are being constructed along shorelines exposed to high energy wave action to produce a natural buffer for the projected increase in frequency and severity of nor'easters and hurricanes associated with a changing climate. The reefs diminish wave energy, creating semi-sheltered shorelines and reducing erosion. Reefs also provide valuable ecosystem services such as filtering water, sequestering carbon, and creating habitat.
Come learn more about how the Nature Conservancy is dealing with climate change issues, and meet Brian Boutin, the Climate Adaptation Project Director based at Nags Head Woods.
