How to mitigate coastal flooding with 250K: Something in the Air podcast

The New Jersey Coastal Coalition received a $250,000 grant from the state. One of the first things the scrappy, results-oriented group did? Hire an anthropologist to do research and make that $250,000 seed money for the future to protect the shore from sea level rise. 

Dr. William Thomas, Executive Director of the New Jersey Resiliency Institute, and Meteorologist Joe Martucci talk about how they're doing just that. Bill, who lives in Ventnor also talks about how he went from building Van Duyne boats at the coast after moving from Ohio to his eight months spent in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. At the end Bill shares his North-Central-South Jersey map. Let's just say it gave Joe a pause.
