Gouldsboro Contracts with FB Environmental for Shore and Storm Expertise

The Shore and Storm project will identify where Gouldsboro is vulnerable to severe damage and disruption from sea-level rise, storms, and storm surge. Much of that work depends on information from residents. But we also need assistance from hydrologists and other experts who can use maps and projections from the Maine Geological Survey to identify future trouble spots. Gouldsboro has contracted with FB Environmental for that expertise.

Gouldsboro Receives “Shore and Storm” Funding

Gouldsboro signed a contract with the Maine Department of Marine Resources, marking the start of a project titled "Planning for Change Along Gouldsboro’s Shore." The agreement provides the town with $29,623 to use in sustaining shore access, reducing vulnerability to damage from sea-level rise and storm events, and engaging the community in planning and action to retain the ecological and economic health of Gouldsboro's coast.
