AI Mapping & 3D-Printed Reefs: Coastal Climate Adaptation Gets Its Tech Stack

Sign up for Risk and Resilience — Designing for a Changing World, a Johnson Controls fireside chat at 1pm EST today featuring Ralph DiNola, founder of Building Insights Group and former CEO of New Buildings Institute, in conversation with Rob Tanner, Marketing Director at Johnson Controls.

--

For decades, the answer to shoreline erosion has been the same: build something big, hard, and heavy. Natrx is rewriting that playbook using AI, machine learning, and 3D-printed reef structures engineered to work with natural systems, not against them.

In this episode, Josh talks with Tad Schwendler, COO of Natrx, about how the company maps erosion across entire coastlines at one-meter resolution — analysis that would otherwise take years — and turns that intelligence into reef structures that protect shorelines and help coastal ecosystems come back to life.

With more than 80 projects across Louisiana, North Carolina, the Chesapeake Bay, and Hawaii, Natrx is doing more than protecting shorelines. It is helping defend coastal wetlands that store large amounts of carbon — and that, when lost, release nearly 2 gigatons of CO₂ a year. This is a conversation about technology, execution, and what it takes to build a company around one of climate’s hardest challenges: moving fast enough, with the right tools and the right stakeholders, to protect coastlines before they change for good.
