The Need for Better Coastal Policies: State of the Beach Report Card

"While there are several states that have model programs in place to protect our coastal resources, this 2017 State of the Beach Report Card reveals that the majority of coastal and Great Lakes states are doing a mediocre to poor job of responding to coastal erosion and sea level rise planning. A noticeable trend highlights the fact that key states that are the most vulnerable to extreme weather events, including destructive hurricanes, are also the least prepared in terms of state policy to handle coastal erosion and the increasing impacts of climate change."
