Maryland provides interactive maps, data layers, and guidance that help communities understand coastal risks and prepare for the future. These resources can be used to:

• Visualize impacts of flooding and sea level rise over time.
• Identify natural features like wetlands and shorelines that protect communities.
• Explore options for shoreline stabilization, habitat restoration, and resilient boating access.
• Track water quality and storm impacts in real time.
• Apply the latest sea level rise projections in planning and decision making.

By combining science, mapping, and community input, Maryland makes it easier to protect coastal ecosystems and strengthen resilience to climate change.
