Areas of present and future flood concern in the Texas Coastal Bend (MTAG input for ESLR 2021 Coastal Resilience)

These datasets capture stakeholder-identified locations of current and future flooding concerns and Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) opportunities within the Texas Coastal Bend, compiled for the ESLR 2021 Coastal Resilience: Living with Sea Level Rise in the Texas Coastal Bend project. The project, led by HRI Endowed Chair for Coastal and Marine Geospatial Sciences, Dr. James Gibeaut, engages key stakeholders to improve and apply advanced modeling techniques to project how sea level rise (SLR) and natural infrastructure may impact coastal resiliency. Points were collected via two Management Transition Advisory Group (MTAG) events in Spring 2023 (an in-person workshop and a web-based short meeting), where participants marked areas of concern and discussed their rationale.
