Corsica River living shoreline in Queen Anne's County, Maryland
A living shoreline built to withstand sea level rise due to climate change is seen on July 20, 2017, at Conquest Preserve on the Corsica River in Queen Anne’s County, Md. It’s the first in the country to use a “shingle beach” design—a mixture of sand and small cobblestone that is light enough to respond to waves and rising waters in the decades to come in order to provide important near-shore habitat for animals like blue crabs and young fish. The project, led by National Wildlife Federation, was designed by Albert McCullough of Sustainable Science LLC and completed in August 2016 with support from partners like Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Wildlife Conservation Society's Climate Adaptation Fund.
