Historic Investment in Coastal Resilience: The 2023 National Coastal Resilience Fund

In the latest episode of the American Shoreline Podcast, co-hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham speak with Joelle Gore, Stewardship Division Chief, Office for Coastal Management at NOAA, and Jessica Grannis, Program Director, Coastal Resilience at the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, about the 2023 National Coastal Resilience Fund (NCRF). The guests discuss how the NCRF, which is being supported by funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, aims to enhance protections for coastal communities from the impacts of storms, floods and other natural coastal hazards while also improving habitats for fish and wildlife. They also cover the selection process for funding, the role of partnerships in advancing coastal resilience, and successful projects that have been funded in the past.
