Creating innovative and robust shoreline datasets to enhance coastal resiliency

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $198,895 cooperative agreement to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2023 under the Coastal Zone Management Administration Awards program (CFDA 11.419). The purpose of this award is to support two projects creating and analyzing innovative shoreline datasets to enhance coastal resiliency in Georgia.

Specifically, the Georgia Southern University Research & Service Foundation will receive funding under a sub-award to undertake the project "PSM-Creating Shoreline Datasets." Additionally, the University of Georgia Research Foundation will receive a sub-award for the project "PSM-Identifying and Analyzing Shoreline Change Metrics." These efforts will advance the goals of the Coastal Zone Management program by developing robust shoreline datasets and metrics to help coastal managers strengthen resilience against climate change impacts in Georgia's coastal zone.
