Introduction
The Virginia Coastal Resilience Collaborative (VCRC) is a cross-university initiative that expands existing William & Mary and Virginia Institute of Marine Science programs addressing water resources and ecosystems as well as coastal resilience. A signature initiative of W&M’s strategic plan, Vision 2026, the collaborative offers a centralized, university-wide approach to coastal resilience research, scholarship, education and advisory work. It harnesses broad expertise to serve partners in our region — communities, state and federal agencies, other universities and industry — with actionable research, training programs, advisory and consulting services designed for current and future needs.
