National Estuarine Research Reserves are buckled down for an active hurricane season, and not for the first time. Disruption has become the new normal on our coasts and resilience is the holy grail. As the 2020 Hurricane Season winds up one hurricane after another, Host Peter Ravel gets in the wayback machine with Jace Tunnell and Keith Laakkonen. Together, they travel back to Gulf of Mexico 2017—a monumental year when Harvey blasted Texas and Irma pummeled Florida. They talk about what it’s like to be part of a program that was created to monitor change in these tumultuous times and the solutions they’re finding in partnership with the communities they serve.
