Coastal Climate Change
As climate changes, dynamic coastal regions are experiencing a wide range of impacts.

Coastal ecosystems stand to be damaged, and coasts will likely erode from rising sea levels, intensified storm surges, and flooding that climate change may amplify. Coastal communities will need to prepare adaptation strategies to cope, and many who li ...
