This grant is for a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct research on coastal ecosystems and hazards, specifically focusing on modeling the coastal flooding hazard risk reduction provided by theoretical coral reef restoration. The research will be carried out in Guam, Saipan, Tinian, and American Samoa. This initiative supports the Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program’s (CMHRP) Coastal Change Hazards (CCH) and Integrated Coastal and Marine Systems (ICMS) priority studies. The objective is to quantify the protective benefits of restored coral reefs against flood risks, contributing to a better understanding of natural infrastructure’s role in coastal resilience.
