Rhode Island Sea Grant

Sea Level Rise Policy & Visualizations

Rhode Island Sea Grant, in cooperation with scientists from the University of Rhode Island and other local institutions, provides assistance to decision makers at state and local levels to better understand the science and policy implications of sea level rise and climate change. Information and tools developed assist stakeholders to identify their vulnerabilities and develop actions to reduce their risk.
