Since 1929, the relative sea level in Annapolis +has risen approximately 1.06 ft, which has significantly increased the occurrences +of nuisance flooding from 2-3 times per year to 30-40 times per year and +left USNA more vulnerable to major storms such as Hurricane Isabel in 2003. +Impacts from storm surges and nuisance flooding affect daily operations through + closures of flooded roads, sidewalks and building entry points. +With greater frequency and increased amounts of water, the negative impacts +are being increasingly felt throughout USNA operations. Long-term impact, +without future action, places many of USNA’s buildings and monuments as well as the +effective execution of the mission of the Academy at risk. + +## Project Team + +Swift River Versar JV is assisting NSAA meet these challenges by reviewing +NSAA/USNA past studies, reports and data collection efforts and providing +planning guidance that will address sea level rise, coastal flooding, storm surge +and stormwater planning and mitigation efforts. The goal is to create a comprehensive plan, +project portfolio and year-by-year execution strategy to cohesively address these natural hazards. + +## Project Implications + +Climate change, sea level rise, changing weather patterns and continued subsidence +of the Mid-Atlantic land mass will continue to contribute to an increase in the +number and magnitude of coastal flooding events in the near- and long-term future +of the Annapolis region. +These conditions will continue to impact land and infrastructure and pose +significant challenges to the successful execution of the Naval Academy mission. +Protective measures at the Lower and Upper Yard as well as North Severn zone +will be necessary to reduce damage from these events and facilitate effective mission execution. +Given the imminent threat of extreme coastal and precipitation-based storm events +as well as probable permanent inundation of some land areas over time, +what adaptation and resilience measures can be taken to address present-day and +likely 2035, 2065 and 2100 impacts in order to protect Mission-Essential infrastructure and facilities +to ensure the successful execution of mission critical and base support activities at the U.S. Naval Academy? +*Technical Details*.
