S.C. Sea Grant Consortium Tackles Resilience
As extreme tides and rainfall have increased in recent years, the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium has focused significant effort on research and outreach programs seeking to improve the coast’s—and the state’s—flood resilience.
Consortium staff have worked with municipal officials in Mount Pleasant and North Charleston on educational flood expos, and with the City of Folly Beach, Town of Kiawah Island, and City of Beaufort on efforts to incorporate sea-level rise adaptation into planning documents.
From collaborative partnerships, such as the Charleston Resilience Network, to developing flood maps, a flood resilience portal, and engaging with communities to inform their adaptation planning, the Consortium strives to put its resources to work for South Carolina.
