Living shorelines are known to store carbon (known as carbon sequestration), which keeps carbon out of the atmosphere. Continued use of this approach to coastal resilience will result in increased carbon sequestration and storage, potentially mitigating the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/oceanservice.noaa.gov\/facts\/living-shoreline.html\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This  was originally published on https:\/\/oceanservice.noaa.gov\/facts\/living-shoreline.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Living shorelines are a green infrastructure technique using native vegetation alone or in combination with offshore sills to stabilize the shoreline.
