CoAD's Center for Resilient Design Receives Grant to Help Protect Coastal Communities and Ecosystems
August 02, 2016
Nearly four years ago, Hurricane Sandy barreled up the New Jersey coast, leaving communities both along the shore and inland decimated in her wake. In the Delaware Bayshore area in Cumberland County, many small towns were flooded by the storm surge.

Also greatly affected was the ecosystem just behind the dikes, which plays a vital role in both the local environment and economy.
