The document discusses a project applying green infrastructure along Rhode Island's coast. The project aims to address water quality issues, risks from storm surge and sea level rise, habitat restoration, and public use enhancements. It involves partnerships between various state and local organizations. The project uses green infrastructure as an adaptation tool for stormwater management in specific coastal areas like Marine Avenue in Newport, Wickford in North Kingstown, and Oakland Beach in Warwick. Conceptual designs for projects in these areas are presented.
