<p class="CZ-MailParagraph"><span lang="EN">In September, the </span><a href="https://www.mass.gov/service-details/massachusetts-integrated-state-hazard-mitigation-and-climate-adaptation-plan">State Hazard Mitigation and Climate Adaptation Plan</a><span lang="EN">
for the Commonwealth was signed by Governor Baker and approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This plan fulfills
</span><a href="https://www.mass.gov/executive-orders/no-569-establishing-an-integrated-climate-change-strategy-for-the-commonwealth"><span lang="EN">Executive Order 569</span></a> calling for a statewide climate adaptation plan while maintaining the Commonwealth’s
eligibility for federal disaster recovery and hazard mitigation funding. It is a first of its kind plan to comprehensively address climate change and natural hazards and to assess risk and vulnerability within state agencies, communities, and across the Commonwealth.
The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA), Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency led the planning process. The plan identifies over 100 initial actions state agencies and executive
offices have identified to increase resiliency and respond to natural hazards and climate change. CZM served on the Project Management Team for the 2017-2018 planning process, completed an agency vulnerability assessment, and has committed to assisting with
continued stakeholder engagement and strategy implementation over the next five years. More information on the Commonwealth’s climate initiatives can be found on EEA’s

<p class="CZ-MailParagraph">In September, CZM and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Woods Hole Science Center agreed to renew and expand their cooperative efforts by continuing high resolution seafloor mapping in unmapped areas of state waters, piloting a coupled
ocean atmosphere wave sediment transport model, and advancing shoreline change and erosion forecasting. This work will collect geophysical data, bottom samples, and photos and video in southern Cape Cod Bay beginning in summer 2019. Also through this cooperative
agreement, the team will perform accuracy assessments of a tool used to calculate future shoreline positions using observed data and process modeling. This task will also include developing a new present-day shoreline (2018-2019) to include in CZM’s
<a href="https://www.mass.gov/service-details/massachusetts-shoreline-change-project">
Shoreline Change Project</a>. Finally, the agreement covers work to develop and run a coastal processes model to determine the fate of sand during select storm events, such as the 2018 winter northeasters. This investigation will provide coastal managers with
better information on how, where, and when sand is transported. The initial model will focus on western Cape Cod Bay. For more information on this project, see the
