Ocean and Coastal Management just published the Rural Coastal Community Resilience Framework in their special edition on coastal systems in transition. The article features the framework that was developed using interviews and then tested with focus groups on the Albemarle Pamlico Peninsula in Columbia, Swanquarter, and Little Washington. The research found that after sharing climate change science on coastal hazards like sea level rise, saltwater intrusion, and flooding, a conversation about livelihoods, prosperity, sustainable development, community, and personal agency within coastal communities can help boost stakeholders perceived ability to adapt! It helps to talk through those community strengths and brainstorm potential actions for adaptation! Thanks again to all the participants for being part of the research project.
