Island Resilience Program
- The Aquidneck Island Land Trust is proud to serve as the host organization for the Growing Regional Resilience Coordination on Aquidneck Island project, funded by NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management. This effort is a collaboration between the City of Newport, the Towns of Middletown and Portsmouth, and Naval Station Newport.
- Building on years of previous efforts in a variety of topic areas, ranging from water quality improvement projects to flood mitigation, and ecological restoration, this program is supported by three new resilience staff members. The four-year project includes: developing an island-wide resilience action plan; engaging all community members, especially those from particularly vulnerable areas; and establishing a long-lasting framework for continued regional resilience work, beyond the initial grant period.
- Be on the lookout for ways to get involved, and sign-up for our upcoming resilience email blast to receive project updates: https://www.aquidneckresilience.org/
