COASTAL CIP SECTION EMERGING ISSUES AND FUNDING NEEDS Continuation of Funding for shore protection program Beach nourishment provides the benefits of a wider recreational beach but the most critical benefit is resiliency and storm damage reduction Beach nourishment will likely become even more critical in future years as a first line of defense against Relative Sea Level Rise Interest and adoption of new Neighborhood Dredging SSD s is anticipated as more projects are successfully completed 30
