CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, University of Florida geologists and NASA biologists use an all-terrain vehicle to survey sand dunes that have been restored along a 1.2 mile stretch of shoreline near Launch Pads 39A and B. As part of a six-month effort to help prevent further erosion, 180,000 shrubs, including grasses, sunflowers, vines, sea grapes and palmettos were planted. Constant pounding from tropical storms, such as Hurricane Sandy in October of 2012, other weather systems and higher than usual tides, destroyed sand dunes protecting infrastructure at the spaceport.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the sand dunes along a 1.2 mile stretch of shoreline near Launch Pads 39A and B were restored during a six-month effort using 90,000 cubic yards of sand. To help prevent future erosion, 180,000 shrubs, including grasses, sunflowers, vines, sea grapes and palmettos were planted.

Wildfire - Bastrop County, Texas, March 2, 2012 -- This endangered Houston toad was recovered from a debris pile in Bastrop County, Texas, and safely relocated outside of the area severly burned during the 2011 wildfires. Biologists hired by FEMA are monitoring for the toad as a way to drive survivor recovery forward while FEMA meets its obligation under the Endangered Species Act to ensure no harm comes to the toad or its habitat.
