It was when he got a job at the Ontario Science Centre as a “Host” that Anthony Morgan really fell in love with science (Photograph courtesy of CBC)When Anthony Morgan was in high school, he didn’t particularly like science.

It’s time to look beyond the status quo and consider nature-based solutions to protect the places we love. The Canso Causeway connecting Cape Breton Island to mainland Nova Scotia and the Vancouver seawall are just two examples. Nature-based solutions prevent shoreline pollution, support biodiversity, can increase property value and contribute to overall human well-being. As such, raising awareness about different nature-based options and being transparent about costs and benefits can help build confidence in nature-based solutions. Successful nature-based solutions also require place-based collaboration and knowledge sharing between impacted peoples, engineers, scientists and decision-makers that consider social and ecological interests.
