AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Wetlands Science Boost: URI and LSU just landed a $4M NSF grant to advance coastal wetland restoration, linking Louisiana delta wetlands with Rhode Island salt marshes through better planning tools, data connections, and restoration financing. Clean Energy Politics: A clean energy super PAC is targeting Gov. Dan McKee with $500,000 in attack ads, arguing his approach undermines climate goals and renewable jobs. Coastal Safety & Beach Season: DEM says Rhode Island state beach facilities close after Labor Day (Sept. 7), with lifeguards off and winterization starting Sept. 8—plus reminders to swim only where lifeguards are on duty. Local Infrastructure Disruption: RIDOT plans major Woonsocket bridge work starting Sept. 11: Wood Avenue Bridge closes about six weeks, and River Street Bridge closes through year-end, with detours for cars, pedestrians, and trucks. Research Recognition: A URI professor was honored by the UN for a sustainability-focused supply chain case competition that pairs students across countries. Urban Nature Watch: A Rhode Island-linked tree-removal fight in San Francisco highlights how local rules can speed up or slow down decisions about mature trees.
