The opportunities will be comprehensively assessed and prioritized based on their benefits to the local community and their overall contribution to reducing vulnerabilities in Southern Connecticut. Over 590,000 residents live in the ten coastal municipalities that are partners in the Regional Framework for Coastal Resilience. Increasing the viability of natural ecosystems along this significant portion of Connecticut’s coastline (approximately 30%) will protect the integrity of Long Island Sound and coastal ecosystems.
