COASTAL SEDIMENT MASTER PLAN

Intentions:• Improve beach conditions.• Reduce erosion attributed to

human causes.• Improve wetland quality.• Leverage federal and state

agency resources.• Assess environmental impacts

of regional coastal projects.• Integrate discrete solutions into

comprehensive regional approach.

COASTAL SEDIMENT MASTER PLAN

Deliverables:

Outreach with public, resource and regulatory agencies to incorporate RSM

Educational materials, reports & computer-based decision support tools

Regional-based strategies to implement RSM: Coastal RSM Plans.
