Episode Details

Coastal Alabama’s marshes are vanishing at a terrifying pace—some shorelines retreating nearly 100 feet—threatening not just land, but the very foundation of local life. These ecosystems are being eroded by a thousand small stresses, yet their loss has massive ripple effects: disappearing habitats for shrimp and crabs, weakened storm buffers that protect homes and infrastructure like Dauphin Island’s causeway, and degraded water quality that harms fisheries and seagrass beds. Landowners like Jackie Wilson have seen firsthand how living shorelines can save property from storms—and how preserving these natural nurseries is essential for sustaining seafood, protecting communities, and ensuring a resilient Gulf Coast.
