The Southeast Atlantic coastal plain holds important cultural value for many Indigenous communities with both ancestral and present-day connections to the watersheds, rivers, creeks, and sounds of the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System. This region of Virginia and North Carolina is on the front lines of climate change, already experiencing impacts from intense storms, flooding, extreme temperatures, and other hazards. Our Tribal Coastal Resilience Connections team will present results from our Phase I Report, highlight Tribal led examples of water protection, conservation, and environmental stewardship, and present next steps including an Indigenous framework for climate resilience planning and adapting to environmental changes.
