The mission of the Coastal Forum is to convene, collect, and share best practices and emerging market trends in coastal real estate development and community resilience, focusing on strategies to protect and strengthen communities at risk due to sea level rise, storms, and other climate hazards through innovative infrastructure and real estate projects within coastal areas.

The Coastal Forum seeks to provide an opportunity for members to meet and build a network with peers of different professional backgrounds involved in coastal development and/or resilience.

• Offer a forum to share best practices for coastal development, resilience, and planning 
• Provide a targeted group to share and provide private sector input into new tools and resources 
• Provide an opportunity for leadership and expertise development in coastal development and resilience
