Living Shoreline Planning Series
The Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) invite coastal communities, Tribes, and non-profit organizations from across New England to apply for the Living Shoreline Planning Series, which will offer free training and technical assistance to help guide you and your team through the process of identifying and developing a conceptual design for a living shoreline. These projects will be designed to reduce erosion and coastal flooding and increase resilience with co-benefits like improving habitat and public access to coastal resources. The training and technical assistance are intended to build capacity towards designing, permitting, and implementing living shoreline projects in New England and ensure your community or organization is well positioned to secure funding to advance the project beyond the conceptual design phase.
Up to 10 applicants from across New England will be selected to participate in the Living Shoreline Planning Series, which will consist of five online learning-facilitation sessions and one in-person site visit. The Living Shoreline Planning Series is open for applications from any coastal municipality, Tribe, or non-profit organization located within New England.
