First-ever Coastal Adaptation Report Card published

The first-ever Maryland Coastal Adaptation Report Card was released on January 21, 2022. The online webinar was attended by nearly 200 people from across the state of Maryland, including Senator Ben Cardin. Maryland received an overall score of B- in coastal adaptation, indicating that we are well-prepared for ongoing and oncoming climate-related coastal changes, but that more work is needed. The report card features 15 indicators sorted into four categories. Some indicators measured already meet, or are close to meeting, current adaptation goals, while others require significant investment to achieve adaptation goals.
