This project will help planners and project proponents identify sites suitable for living shorelines and develop a strategy to increase understanding of how these approaches can preserve important environmental services in the face of current and future coastal risks and hazards to tidal shorelines. A NOAA Coastal Management Fellow will accomplish this goal in direct collaboration with NHDES Coastal Program (NHCP) Resilience Program staff and partner organizations. The project will 1) design and complete a Living Shoreline Site Suitability Assessment that builds on ongoing efforts to collect data related to current shoreline conditions, shoreline change, and current demand for shoreline treatments and 2) develop a Living Shoreline Outreach and Technical Assistance Strategy that addresses identified needs for specific audiences.
