"NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) is announcing $6.7 million in fiscal year 2023 funding that will be spent on 18 coastal resilience research projects across the nation. “Coastal communities are on the front lines of climate change, and face challenges from sea level rise, coastal flooding and more frequent and intense storms,” said Rick Spinrad, Ph.D., NOAA Administrator. “These awards, including those funded through the Biden-Harris Administration's Inflation Reduction Act, are a key pillar of Bidenomics and will enhance NOAA’s efforts to help communities build economic and environmental resilience and develop solutions to a variety of coastal climate threats.”
