About this podcast
On Season 7 of The Catch, host Rux Guidi and her reporting team head to Jamaica to see firsthand how the country is rebuilding from Hurricane Melissa with natural tools that promote coastal resilience. These nature-based solutions, such as sea grass and mangroves, routinely support better outcomes after severe storms and are an important tool as Jamaica and other coastal communities around the world face increasingly volatile hurricane seasons.
