Big investments boost Washington's coastal resiliency
/Last week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced a major new grant aimed at supporting climate resiliency projects to protect those Washington communities, infrastructure and habitats that are at risk.
The $73.6 million climate resiliency grant builds on more than 20 years of planning work by Ecology and a coalition of public agencies, Tribes, academic institutions and non-profit organizations. Together, they have investigated the steps needed to protect Washington’s coastal communities from climate-related hazards.
