About Us

Coastalresilience.org is dedicated to providing information to land use and natural resource managers that will help them integrate sea level rise and coastal hazards into their decision-making. Specifically, this website contains information about: (1) the issue (specific local projections of sea level rise and storm surge inundation), (2) what's at risk (spatial data on the natural and socio-economic resources that are vulnerable, and (3) what can be done (regulatory options for adapting to these changes). By managing natural resources and land use with future shoreline conditions in mind, decision makers can enhance the resilience of human and natural communities simultaneously.
