National Coastal Research Program

The National Coastal Research Program is a government initiative that studies and monitors the health of coastal areas to protect ecosystems, support sustainable development, and prepare for climate-related changes like sea level rise. It gathers scientific data on water quality, habitats, and human activities to inform policies and conservation efforts. By understanding how coasts are changing and what impacts they face, the program aims to promote resilient, healthy coastlines that benefit communities, wildlife, and the environment.
