Resilient Coastal Communities

Coastal communities today face a multitude of opportunities and risks, and California is no exception. From its rural towns, to working harbor communities, to mega-cities, predicting sea-level rise, managing population growth, resolving competing uses for natural resources, maintaining infrastructure, managing shortages of fresh water, and developing local responses to regional issues are among the state’s needs. CASG will focus effort and work with strategic partners toward the following goals.

1. Support communities and stakeholders to sustainably use and effectively manage coastal and marine resources
2. Work with communities to improve coastal environmental quality
3. Assist communities in reducing vulnerability to coastal hazards
