Translating Coastal Flooding Science to Support Resilience

Developing tools and guidance that prepare Maine for sea level rise.

For much of Maine’s coast, there is a disconnect between sea level rise and coastal flooding data products, and actionable information that can serve as a basis for flood preparedness and adaptation measures. We are working with partners throughout the state to develop technical guidance, tools, and trainings that translate available science to support coastal resilience.

Project Goals:

  • Improve available mapping tools to further support flood preparedness and adaptation.
  • Develop technical guidance for applying sea level rise and coastal flooding datasets to adaptation measures.
  • Create a hub of online, asynchronous educational materials.
  • Develop and deliver trainings.
