Check out how these Red Crossers got their hands dirty! They worked with local partners to plant spartina grass in a coastal area to protect shorelines from erosion and storm flooding. Spartina grass is a native species in the Charleston, South Carolina, marsh. When hurricanes and storm surges impact the community, the marsh acts as a big sponge to hold water and reduce the flow that causes inlet flooding. As severe weather increases and becomes more destructive due to the climate crisis, this is how the RedCrossSC Green Team is helping to make their community more resilient. Let’s give it up for our Green Teams who are helping to mitigate the impacts of the changing climate and advance local sustainability efforts across the country! #Charleston #SouthCarolina #CoastalLiving #ClimateAction #ProtectOurCoast #CoastalConservation #MarshLife #Sustainability
