Coastal Storm Risk Management Study
Understanding the Future of Boston’s Waterfront
BHWOCC has been working to help our members and communities understand and engage with the Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) Study—an important process that could shape Boston’s waterfront for generations to come.
Through conversations, monthly meet-ups, and breakout groups at our Annual Retreat, as well as member insights and behind-the-scenes research, we’ve been working to make this complex process more accessible and understandable.
Keep Learning. Keep Engaging.
