Build coastal resilience with us
Our mission is to help coastal communities move from climate risk to implementation by building the partnerships, knowledge, funding, and capacity needed to deliver resilient solutions.

CSRS sits at the intersection of innovation and implementation.
We help ports and coastal governments translate climate risk into actionable projects by connecting technology, policy, community engagement, and funding, then turn successful approaches into models that can scale.
We've imagined 3 pillars of coastal resilience:
Climate Risk and Insurance
We've taken a leadership role in addressing the critical intersection of climate risk and insurance, including our 2024 workshop, "The Economic Risks of Climate Change for California Communities." In 2025 we will host 2 more events: May 2025: The economic impacts of fire, sea level rise, and heat events on California Communities and...
Ports and Coastal Resilience
Join our interdisciplinary program exploring ports and harbors as critical connectors ("blue glue") between communities, industry, and coastal stakeholders. This initiative aims to create jobs, tackle the climate crisis, and address equity and inclusion goals collectively.
Workforce Development
We’ve identified workforce development as a key pillar of coastal resilience and work to connect key stakeholders, including schools, colleges and universities, nonprofits, industry partners, and waterfront land managers such as ports, to build equitable pathways into the blue economy and coastal climate resilience sectors.
