Project News
The Future Coast project was funded by Mid-Atlantic Sea Grant under the 2011 Regional Sea Grant Sea Level Rise and Inundation Research RFP. The project extends from November 2011 through October 2012. The initiative features a countywide survey of Anne Arundel residents in Spring 2012, and a day-long community conversation event on April 28th for those who participate in the survey. A report on the survey data will be available on this website in Summer 2012 with a final project report to follow in the fall.
