Coastal Resilience – South Carolina

This webpage provides a general overview of the challenges, natural solutions, and resources concerning coastal resilience for South Carolina with an emphasis on flood risk. “South Carolina’s North Coast region is well known for the beaches of the Grand Strand, which attract visitors and residents year-round. Less than 10 miles away are the mighty rivers of the Waccamaw, Great Pee Dee and Little Pee Dee. During storm events, these rivers swell over their banks, closing roads and flooding neighborhoods. The Nature Conservancy and partners are modeling flood risk to South Carolina communities to determine where restoring and protecting the natural features of the floodplain and coasts can best reduce the region’s vulnerability.” – Coastal Resilience
