Decision-makers need information to support choices for managing natural resources and human communities in the face of coastal changes that are already underway.
The purpose of the Coastal Resilience project is to provide communities with easy access to information to assist in coastal planning and management decisions regarding resources at risk from sea level rise and coastal hazards. This information is accessible through an interactive decision support tool. With the Future Scenarios Mapper, users can characterize current conditions and visualize the ecological, social and economic impacts of reasonable future flooding scenarios. Proactive solutions and adaptations can reduce impacts to human and natural communities. Appropriate planning for adaptation requires data-driven decision support, and the Coastal Resilience project provides a suite of interactive analysis options to support decision-makers.
