• Description:
  New York Sea Grant (NYSG), acting as a Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), is developing educational resources for stakeholders who are living on and managing New York State’s (NYS) tidally-influenced shorelines, this includes Long Island and the Hudson River up to the federal dam at Troy. To create the most relevant end products, NYSG Specialists on Long Island and in the Hudson River Estuary conducted a needs assessment consisting of focus groups and interviews with the target audience defined below for insight on how to frame key messages. The focus groups and interviews aimed to characterize the stakeholders’ perceptions of flood and erosion risk, decision-making, and information needs.
