About the speaker

Kirsten Ellis
Coastal Adaptation Specialist, CBWES Inc.

I have spent my entire life falling in love with the coasts of Nova Scotia. After graduating with an MSc from Saint Mary’s University specializing in living shorelines and nature-based approaches to shoreline management, I joined CBWES while chasing my passion for restoring coastal habitats.

My goal is to work with nature to create healthy coastal ecosystems that can sustain healthy coastal communities.
