Alex Berkowitz: Protecting Communities From the Threat of Rising Sea-Levels
Alex: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Coastal Protection Solutions is focusing on creating systems that decrease flooding and protect communities against the threat of sea-level rise and climate change. We’ve invented two systems that help communities survive the future with the effects of climate change. The first system is called the Wavebreaker, which is a 300-feet wave speed bump that stops people’s homes and businesses from getting destroyed by reducing the strength of big waves. The second is an Artificial Marsh System that takes grasses and sediment and expands the shoreline outward by hundreds of feet, which protects people against sea-level rise.
