Coastal Resilience

From developing coastal resilience plans to designing livingshorelines, restored wetlands, natural systems, and hybrid shoreline protectionsystems, Plummer’s coastal resilience practice helps communities prepare forincreasing coastal risks and protect critical assets. Our team brings togetherstormwater and flood management, natural systems design, permitting, waterplanning, modeling, utility infrastructure, and funding support to moveprojects from early planning through implementation.

Coastal communities are facing more intense storms,shoreline erosion, flooding, sea level rise, and impacts to infrastructure andecosystems. Plummer helps clients define resilience priorities, evaluatealternatives, secure funding, navigate permitting, and deliver practicalrisk-reduction projects. Our approach emphasizes nature-based solutions wherethey fit, hybrid systems where conditions require them, and clearimplementation pathways that connect planning, design, permitting, constructionsupport, monitoring, and adaptive management. We focus on fundable,implementable solutions that reduce risk, restore natural systems, andstrengthen public infrastructure for the future.
