Launch of the South Atlantic Coastal Study

February 28, 2019Beach News Service, Press Releasesasbpa_ed

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has officially begun the South Atlantic Coastal Study (SACS), a study “to identify the risks and vulnerabilities of those areas to increased hurricane and storm damage as a result of sea level rise” in the region of the US covered by the South Atlantic Division of USACE. (As authorized in Section 148 of WRDA ’16.)

Creating a Shared Vision to Address Coastal Vulnerability

On February 27th, USACE, in collaboration with ASBPA, held a visioning webinar for “Creating a Shared Vision to Address Coastal Vulnerability.” This outlined the scope of the study, outputs and timeline, and next steps including ways for stakeholders to get involved.  SACS Presentation (PDF 2.2MB)
