National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Announces Launch of New Coastal Resilience Dashboard
02 Julio 2024 - 9:00AM
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) today announced
the launch of the Coastal Resilience Dashboard, which displays the
conservation impacts from projects funded by the National
Coastal Resilience Fund, the Hurricane Sandy Coastal
Resiliency Competitive Grant Program and the Emergency
Coastal Resilience Fund.
The Coastal Resilience Dashboard is a valuable tool
for visualizing NFWF’s impact on coastal communities and vital
habitats across the U.S. by tracking ecological and socioeconomic
outcomes of projects and programs. The dashboard displays data such
as acres restored, fish-passage barriers removed, jobs created,
properties protected, and the number of underserved communities
directly engaged and impacted from grants.
“The Coastal Resilience Dashboard provides a critical window
into the conservation benefits achieved through NFWF’s coastal
resilience initiatives,” said NFWF’s Chief Conservation Officer
Holly Bamford. “By showcasing the restoration of vital habitats and
the positive impacts on coastal communities, this tool enhances
transparency, facilitates data-driven decision-making, and supports
the ongoing success of our investments in coastal
resilience.”
The dashboard offers the public the opportunity to engage in an
interactive way with the current conservation impacts of NFWF’s
coastal resilience grants. Users can analyze the investments made
in specific areas, and for conservation impacts of specific grants
and programs. The dashboard will be regularly updated as data
becomes available and new projects are added.
The Coastal Resilience Dashboard was developed in partnership
with Industrial Economics, Incorporated (IEc).
