Specifications include, but are not limited to: All projects must incorporate the following guiding principles: 2 Avoid greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to coastal flood risks. Use consistent, best available climate science and guidance for relative sea-level rise (RSLR), coastal storms, RSLR-induced groundwater rise, and extreme precipitation. 3 If applicable, select flood risk scenarios based on tolerance for flood risk. Projects should use or improve upon existing and available datasets, including but not limited to: sea-level rise, groundwater rise, sea level affecting marshes modeling, resilient tidal crossings, Tides to Storms and/or C-RiSe, and living shoreline site suitability assessment (report; mapping tool). All datasets and data communication projects must be made publicly accessible in user-friendly formats. Prioritize equity and justice of socially vulnerable populations. Protect natural, cultural and historic resources, and public access. Enable a bold approach and encourage immediate, incremental, and opportunistic action
