Local engagement and outreach is integral to the success of the Coastal Storms Program working in a project area. A local outreach coordinator is hired when the Program is actively working to develop products and provide services. Outreach coordinators are supported through a cooperative agreement with a local Sea Grant partner.

Local engagement is important to assure that resources and products are being used wisely to create meaningful results and lasting impacts. Current outreach coordinators include the following:
