Coastal ResilienceMunicipalities working with NJCRC can build partnerships across sectors and connect to funding opportunities
Did you know there are about 239 municipalities with tidally influenced waters across 16 counties in New Jersey? The New Jersey Coastal Resilience Collaborative (NJCRC) is a professional network established to foster sustainable and resilient coastal communities and ecosystems by generating informed action. The NJCRC helps make resilience a priority by working directly with communities to raise awareness, identify challenges, and build support for addressing them with beneficial solutions. Over 100 diverse partners make up the NJCRC, including federal, state, and local government, regional planning groups, universities, non- governmental organizations, consulting companies and other for-profit businesses, national estuary programs and reserves, advocacy groups, and community representatives. NJCRC leadership consists of three co-chairs who act as an executive committee of the board of directors and three managing directors to support the function and coordina tion of NJCRC activities. The Board of Directors reflects the make-up of General Partners with representatives from diverse sectors to help guide the goals and objectives of the organi zation. The NJCRC is open to all interested individuals, municipalities, agencies/organizations, and businesses who commit to working for the common good of New Jersey residents in enhancing coastal resilience and mitigating coastal hazards.
