Climate Change and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control
The Secretary of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) established a Sea Level Rise Advisory Committee comprised of representatives from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. The committee’s work consists of two phases: assessing Delaware’s vulnerability as sea levels rise, and planning for adaptation. The completed vulnerability assessment—an analysis of the potential impacts sea level rise may have on 79 state resources—will guide the planning for the adaptation phase.
