Continue to support and fund coastal enhancement projects in order to reduce erosion rates and protect critical infrastructure and assets. The Tribe has supported the work of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to replenish and restore dunes along Tokeland and Empire Spit in order to protect the coastline and reduce coastal erosion, especially after large storm events that wash away significant amounts of sediment. While not necessarily a long-term resilience strategy, continuing to protect valuable coastal land and infrastructure could provide time for the Tribe to develop strategies for current and future relocation efforts as well as to retain access to and use of Reservation lands – regardless of time.
