Your help is needed to develop a transformative plan for coastal resilience. The Eastern Shore Community Resilience & Sustainability Plan is in the works, aiming to tackle critical challenges such as saltwater intrusion, shoreline erosion, flash flooding, impassable roads, barrier island erosion, and coastal flooding.
The plan’s success hinges on gathering insights from community members who intimately understand the Shore’s history and challenges.
Residents are encouraged to reflect on their experiences and contribute to the collective knowledge that will inform this vital plan. Questions about childhood memories, changes impacting livelihoods, efforts to preserve property, and stories passed down through generations serve as guiding prompts for valuable input.
To participate, individuals can share their Shore stories by emailing jessica@steelmancoastal.com. Additionally, thoughts and reflections can be shared via an online input survey available at http://tiny.cc/inputsurvey.
This initiative emphasizes the significance of community engagement in shaping the Eastern Shore’s resilience against environmental threats. The collective wisdom and experiences of residents will be the cornerstone upon which this plan is built, ensuring it addresses the real and pressing needs of the community.
The call to action isn’t merely a request for anecdotes; it’s an invitation to contribute to the blueprint that will safeguard the Shore’s future. The Eastern Shore Community Resilience & Sustainability Plan stands to benefit greatly from the invaluable insights and stories shared by those who call this vibrant coastal region home.
