The plight and fragility of the world’s coral reefs are well documented with scarce excuse for optimism. However, the latest campaign from SHEBA promises to change that script with help from Aussie collective The Glue Society.
As part of MARS’ ongoing Sustainable in a Generation Plan, a team of marine biologists have designed a system where they can naturally restore coral reefs at speeds of up to four times quicker than normal conditions. They have been actively developing the restoration method in the Coral Triangle for over thirteen years with the program now moving into Australia and Mexico. The culmination of all that expertise has been brought together to create @ShebaHopeGrows.

âNine hundred and thirteen students are going to be going to the wrong school if you select the IPT recommendation,â Liz Altschuler, a parent representing the group proposing the alternative Green+ Plan said. âHow can you do that? How is that acceptable?â

I still have my concerns with the distances that are having to be traveled.â
She continued: âI canât believe that we canât come up with something even better than the Blue Plan. That there couldnât be a better plan that could be worked out.â

Fairfax County is embarking on a formal effort to address climate adaptation and resilience. The newly launched initiative, known as “Resilient Fairfax,” will encompass the development of a comprehensive Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plan for the county and the community as well as the implementation of strategies to reduce risk to county residents, businesses, and infrastructure. This effort, which will engage county residents, representatives from county agencies, regional authorities, state agencies, utilities, the development community, and others providing critical services to the county, will aim to increase the community’s overall resilience to climate impacts.
Resilient Fairfax is led by the Office of Environmental and Energy Coordination (OEEC). The OEEC is supported by a Planning Team of over a dozen County departments in addition to two advisory bodies: an Infrastructure Advisory Group and a Community Advisory Group. These groups will meet period
