The NOAA Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management released Adapting to Climate Change: A Planning Guide for State Coastal Managers, which offers a framework for state coastal managers to follow as they develop and implement climate change adaptation plans in their own states. State coastal managers, and their counterparts in local governments, are at the forefront of adapting to climate change. This document is structured to help guide managers through the planning process from establishing the planning team to implementing the plan.
