Guardians of the Gulf – Coastal Resiliency Outreach

Together with our partners, the Guardians of the Gulf team created two youth-friendly videos to help improve the understanding of green and gray infrastructure in Tampa Bay (and beyond!). Over time we have built up the coastline – changing what Mother Nature designed in green (mangroves, grasses, saltmarshes), to all sorts of things that are gray, like concrete seawalls and gutters and storm drains to move rainwater away from buildings. Green and grey infrastructure are critical pieces of the story of coastal resiliency.

The animation below enhances the introductory content shared in the video.  

We suggest watching the video first. Enjoy!
