coastal resiliency
Coastal resiliency refers to the ability of coastal areas—such as beaches, shores, and communities—to absorb, recover from, and adapt to natural events like storms, rising sea levels, and erosion. It involves implementing strategies and infrastructure, such as seawalls or natural barriers, to protect land and people while maintaining the environment. The goal is to reduce damage and ensure that ecosystems and communities can withstand and recover from extreme conditions, helping them remain sustainable and vibrant over time.
