Residents of Rosemont South Carolina, with the support of the Lowcountry Alliance for Model Communities (LAMC) and Charleston Community Research to Action Board (CCRAB) will utilize municipal, state and federal hydrology and infrastructure maps to better understand flood risk in their community, specifically mapping the potential impacts of a seawall surrounding the Charleston peninsula. Community members will also conduct water quality analyses to understand how legacy pollutants from industrial runoff are collecting in floodwater. LAMC, CCRAB and Rosemont residents will then utilize this understanding of flood risk to consult technical expertise to evaluate nature-based solutions applicable for Rosemont and communicate these solutions to municipal, state and federal agencies.
This work will be conducted in with support from the Anthropocene Alliance and the Coastal Community Foundation’s Healthy Harbors Fund.
