The N.C. Coastal Federation, which is dedicated to protecting the coastal environment, held a press conference Wednesday to announce the official release of the action plan. According to the federation’s announcement, it is “a roadmap for government leaders and practitioners to reduce stormwater flooding using practical, effective natural approaches.”
The NCCF developed the statewide plan through a partnership with Pew Charitable Trusts. Pew flood-prepared communities officer Yaron Miller said that using nature-based stormwater management practices can help improve coastal resilience.
“The action plan calls on state and local governments to lead by example by proactively incorporating nature-based designs in projects so that taxpayer-funded investments are more resilient to flooding and help reduce runoffs from storms,” Yaron Miller said.
