Science needs for sea level adaptation planning
Description: Nearly five million people in the United States live within four feet of the local high-tide level. In the next several decades, many of these regions will experience the effects of coastal flooding and sea level rise. To try and prepare for these impacts, many coastal cities and states along the East Coast are working with all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, the business community, and academia to help improve their resilience to coastal inundation and sea level rise.
