This Research Coordination Network (RCN) explores how to achieve adaptive capacity and resilience for Gulf coastal communities and aims to foster a new understanding of the interactions among the key elements of community resilience in rural coastline areas. The RCN will bring together researchers from different fields, who otherwise would not be able to network together, to form working groups focusing on understanding within three frameworks: Resilient rural infrastructure capacity and innovation; governance/ planning; and community engagement.
