Water-dependent uses require sites that provide access to coastal waterways. This requirement also means that water-dependent uses are inherently vulnerable to risks from coastal hazards. The EAC team is working with NOAA to develop “Resilience Planning for Water-Dependent Uses”. The guide leverages the geospatial capabilities of ESRI Story maps, and uses the web-based tool to […]
