Federal Action for Resilient Coasts

A live webcast will be streamed at 3:00 PM EDT at www.eesi.org/livecast (wireless connection permitting) The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to join us for the launch of our new report, A Resilient Future for Coastal Communities: Federal Policy Recommendations from Solutions in Practice, and a discussion of federal actions that can improve coastal resilience along our ocean and Great Lakes shorelines. The report highlights policy levers available to Congress, with 30 policy recommendations and case studies gathered from EESI’s year-long, 16-part briefing series on regional coastal resilience. The series featured 42 policy experts and coastal resilience practitioners from nearly every coastal state, from Maine to Wisconsin to Hawaii, covering topics from data-gathering to living shorelines to coastal retreat. This online briefing will be conducted as a moderated discussion of coastal issues and policy solutions with four expert speakers from the briefing series.
