The Virginia Coastal Resources Management (CCRM) team was awarded a 3-year grant from the VA Coastal Zone Management Program to update the tidal shoreline inventory in select localities.
Project Overview:
- Grant Award: CCRM has been awarded a 3-year grant to update shoreline inventories in specific localities.
- Objective: The project aims to update shoreline condition maps and enhance the Shoreline Management Model to better serve coastal communities.
- Phases and Localities: Detailed information about planned phases and participating localities can be accessed on the Virginia Coastal Resources Tool under “Inventory Update in Progress.”
Innovative Approaches:
- AI Integration: Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI), the update process will utilize more efficient methods to rapidly identify common shoreline features such as docks and defense structures.
- MapMyShore: Introducing MapMyShore, a pioneering community science application designed to engage the public in shoreline monitoring. This app empowers individuals to submit observations of shoreline conditions, which will be reviewed and verified before integration into the updated inventory.
Stakeholder Engagement Meeting:
- Date: May 28, 2024
- Platform: Zoom
- Purpose: The upcoming stakeholder engagement meeting aims to gather input and ideas for the development of MapMyShore. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of this innovative tool.
- Contact: For participation inquiries or questions about the shoreline inventory updates, please reach out to Karinna Nunez at karinna@vims.edu.
