To provide watershed managers, municipalities, and restoration practitioners with a new operational approach to HAB prevention by identifying where and how to interrupt the hypoxia cascade. The presentation demonstrates how Nature-based Solutions (NbS) deployed across a corridor — rather than isolated lake treatments — can reduce nutrient mobility, stabilize oxygen, and prevent bloom conditions before they develop. Hypoxia is not a localized water-quality issue — it is the unseen engine that drives harmful algal bloom formation across entire watersheds. When oxygen drops in one zone, internal phosphorus release accelerates, microbial communities shift, organic carbon increases, and downstream waters inherit amplified bloom conditions. This presentation demonstrates why managing HABs requires interrupting the hypoxia cascade at its earliest points — upstream, at depth, and at key control structures — rather than relying on in-lake, end-stage treatments. By applying corridor-scale, Nature-based Solutions, we can stabilize oxygen levels, bind nutrients, and restore system function long before a bloom takes hold.

While geocells have been commercially available for 40 years, they are under-utilized when attempting to vegetate challenging slopes. Using three-dimensional geocells in these applications allows you to confine up to 12" of topsoil, preventing it from eroding and giving ample long-term organic material for long-term vegetation establishment. I will begin with an introduction to slope failure mechanisms and how each are caused. I will then introduce geocells, including their history, the different cell sizes and cell depths that are available and when each variation is suitable for use. Next, I will discuss the various accessories that go along with the geocell, including connection devices, various anchoring options and when each is recommended. I will finish the presentation highlighting various case studies of vegetated geocell slope protection, including showcasing the installation processes using the various anchoring options.
