A new way to "grow" islands and coastlines

Title:: A new way to "grow" islands and coastlines
Speaker:: Skylar Tibbits
Description:: What if we could harness the ocean's movement to protect coastal communities from rising sea levels? Designer and TED Fellow Skylar Tibbits shows how his lab is creating a dynamic, adaptable system of underwater structures that uses energy from ocean waves to accumulate sand and restore eroding shorelines -- working with the forces of nature to build rather than destroy.
