Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of Resolution
Explanation:
National coordination and support are necessary for coastal towns to fully address the challenge of sea level rise and flooding. The Seawall Coalition provides a platform advocating for national solutions to sea level rise and flooding that invest in and protect our coastal communities. The Seawall Coalition is a forum for best practices and support in developing local and state-level responses to sea level rise and flooding that will enhance the City’s sea level rise effort.
Joining the Seawall Coalition will aid the City’s efforts to protect against flooding without requiring any financial support or dues from the City Commission. Additionally collaboration with the Seawall Coalition is consistent with the City Sustainability Action Plan.
