Building A Resilient Coast: Results From Focus Groups And Surveys With Maine Coastal Property Owners And Municipal Officials, Kristen Grant, Holli Andrews
Building A Resilient Coast: Results From Focus Groups And Surveys With Maine Coastal Property Owners And Municipal Officials, Kristen Grant, Holli Andrews
Maine Sea Grant Publications
This summary provides an analysis of information gathered in 2007 and 2008 during a two-year study conducted by Maine Sea Grant and the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, and funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The results were generated from broadly distributed surveys and six focus groups attended by Maine coastal property owners, municipal officials and recreational waterfront users. Findings highlight the logical steps needed to build coastal communities that are more resilient to coastal storms, flooding and erosion.

Urbanization, Water Quality, And The Regulated Landscape, Dave Owen
Urbanization, Water Quality, And The Regulated Landscape, Dave Owen
Publications
Watershed scientists frequently describe urbanization as a primary cause of water quality degradation, and recent studies conclude that even in lightly-developed watersheds, urbanization often precludes attainment of water quality standards. This article considers legal responses to this pervasive problem. It explains why traditional legal measures have been ineffective, and it evaluates several recent innovations piloted in the northeastern United States and potentially applicable across the nation. Specifically, the innovations involve using impervious cover TMDLs, residual designation authority, and collective permitting. More generally, the innovations involve transferring regulatory focus from end-of-the-pipe to landscape-based controls. I conclude that the innovations, while raising …

How The Grass Became Greener In The City: Urban Imaginings And Practices Of Sustainability, Cindy Isenhour
How The Grass Became Greener In The City: Urban Imaginings And Practices Of Sustainability, Cindy Isenhour
Anthropology Faculty Scholarship
Far removed from a direct connection to the land and environmental feedback, most urban inhabitants have little choice but to rely on external sources of information as they formulate their understanding of sustainability. This reliance on analytical, scientifically produced, and highly technical sources of information—such as life-cycle analyses, carbon footprints and climate change projections—solidifies definitions of sustainable living centered on technological resource efficiencies while concentrating the power to define sustainability with experts and the industrial and political elite. Drawing on 14 months of ethnographic field work in and around Stockholm, Sweden, this paper explores how urban alienation shapes ideas about …

Originally designed as an online owner's guide for coastal property owners and municipal officials. Describes sandy beach, hard and soft bluff, and coastal wetland habitats, vulnerabilities to erosion, and actions that property owners and communities can take to improve the resiliency of coastal lands in the face of sea-level rise, waves, flooding, hurricanes, and climate change related hazards.
