From developing coastal resilience plans to designing living shorelines, restored wetlands, natural systems, and hybrid shoreline protection systems, Plummer’s coastal resilience practice helps communities prepare for increasing coastal risks and protect critical assets. Our team brings together stormwater and flood management, natural systems design, permitting, water planning, modeling, utility infrastructure, and funding support to move projects from early planning through implementation.
Coastal communities are facing more intense storms, shoreline erosion, flooding, sea level rise, and impacts to infrastructure and ecosystems. Plummer helps clients define resilience priorities, evaluate alternatives, secure funding, navigate permitting, and deliver practical risk-reduction projects. Our approach emphasizes nature-based solutions where they fit, hybrid systems where conditions require them, and clear implementation pathways that connect planning, design, permitting, construction support, monitoring, and adaptive management. We focus on fundable, implementable solutions that reduce risk, restore natural systems, and strengthen public infrastructure for the future.
