Nature to Prevent $50 Billion from Flood Damages in Gulf
- "In the Gulf of Mexico, our study shows that nature-based or green solutions are particularly cost effective in comparison to most ‘gray’ solutions. In fact, large-scale oyster and wetland restoration projects, could help avert more than 45 percent of the climate risk over a 20-year period in the Gulf, saving more than $50 billion in flood damages. Nature-based solutions can be even more cost effective if additional ecosystem services such as fisheries, recreation, and other benefits are considered." - Excerpt from The Nature Conservancy.
