Abstract

The Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) extends alongshore, from Cape Cod, MA to Cape Hatteras, NC and includes major estuarine systems such as Narragansett Bay, Long Island Sound, Chesapeake Bay and Pamlico Sound. Sea level rise continues to have a dramatic effect on developed watersheds and urban estuaries, which are common to this highly populated region. Tropical cyclones contribute to flooding, which impacts coastal roads, homes, farms, and even fresh water supplies. Research is being applied to improve our understanding of the physical processes that connect estuaries and the coastal ocean and better forecast floods. Advances will result in improved marine policies and coastal resilience.
