Develop Long-Range Plan for Sea-Level Rise at the Dare County Range
Long-Term
On-Going
Develop a long-range strategic plan for mitigating impacts of sea-level rise to
preserve future flexibility for weapons delivery events and siting of impact areas,
and mission capabilities at the Dare County Range based on analysis developed
in Strategy CA-1. Incorporate analysis and quantifiable impacts of projected real
property loss on mission capability and capacity and mitigation strategies.

Continue to Pursue Hydrology Restoration Projects for Living Shorelines
Continue to identify and pursue partnering opportunities for hydrology restoration
projects that reinforce salt marsh ecosystems and protect shorelines from erosion
associated with wave energy, storm surges and tides that would otherwise
increase shoreline susceptibility to sea level rise and ultimately reduce inland
inundation at the Dare County Range. The benefits of these hydrology
restoration projects also provide valuable natural habitats for waterfowl and bird
populations addressing the issues BIO-1 and BIO-2.
