Wetlands Watch is a non-profit organization based in Norfolk, Virginia, dedicated to protecting and preserving the state's tidal wetlands in the face of rising sea levels. Through their work, they aim to assist localities in adapting to sea level rise, promote floodplain management, advocate for conservation landscaping, and encourage citizen action to safeguard wetlands. They also provide resources, publications, and research collaborations to support resilience strategies and design interventions. With a focus on nature-based solutions, Wetlands Watch strives to create resilient landscapes and shorelines, while also promoting stewardship of privately owned wetlands along the Chesapeake Bay. They have partnered with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation to offer grant resources through the Coastal Resilience Trees Fund, and their Sea Level Rise Adaptation Guide provides options for resiliency to locality staff. Additionally, their phone app is utilized for crowd-sourcing flooding data, and they support the voluntary credential system, Chesapeake Bay Landscape Professional (CBLP), for sustainable landscape design and maintenance.Generated from the website
