Its landscapes are gening hotter, wetter, drier, and more prone to extreme weather. For people on the Gulf Coast, conditions are especially challenging. The storms and subsidence with which they are already familiar will accelerate on a warming planet. And Climate_Change_Resilience_Gulf_Coast_1603 their hardship will be further amplified by socioeconomic vulnerabilities that have long plagued the many vibrant and historical communities that makClimate_Change_Resilience_Gulf_Coast_1603

Residents in the Gulf are both resilient and vulnerable: They demonstrate profound care for each other and self-sufficiency and have a w Climate_Change_Resilience_Gulf_Coast_1603ealth of traditional knowledge about the natural history of their communities, but they are also often marginalized and suffer disproportionately whenClimate_Change_Resilience_Gulf_Coast_1603

These communities tend to live in more vulnerable locations—such as in floodplains and along coastal wetlands and inland waterways—than their wealthier counterparts. Collectively, these factors may dramatically decrease the resilience of th Climate_Change_Resilience_Gulf_Coast_1603ese communities.

These strategies support mechanisms for adaptation that are flexible, that operate on a range of levels from the individual homeowner to entire communities, and that provid Climate_Change_Resilience_Gulf_Coast_1603e protection or additional protection in vulnerable areas. Implementing these strategies can help minimize the need to build large-scale, hard infrastClimate_Change_Resilience_Gulf_Coast_1603
