11.10 Conclusion

Nature provides numerous, quantifiable services and benefits; however, communities are not often educated or incentivized to protect their natural systems. Bridging this divide is paramount for communities across the globe to survive in a climate changed future. Nature must be prioritized in our regulatory, financial, and social systems in ways which empower, encourage, and incentivize smart and necessary investments in natural infrastructure.

We cannot stop the seas from rising or the storms from coming. If we are to live safely in these areas, at harmony with nature and water, tomorrow’s coasts will need to look very different than those of today. We must make choices today that enable succeeding generations to stand at the waters’ edge and feel the same, deep affinity that has drawn so many.
