Coastal Barrier Resources System Hurricane Sandy Remapping Project Proposed Fact Sheets

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initiated a project in 2014 to comprehensively modernize the maps for the Coastal Barrier Resources System units in the nine states most affected by Hurricane Sandy: Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York (Long Island), Rhode Island, and Virginia. The public was provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed changes through comment periods held in 2018 and 2019 (see archived materials from the public review periods). These fact sheets, which were prepared for the public review periods, include an overview of the remapping project, as well as information on the proposed maps for each state. The proposed changes described by these fact sheets have been superseded by our 2022 report to Congress on the Hurricane Sandy Remapping Project, which contains final recommended changes to the CBRS.
