Coast & Resilience

Beaches, waterways, marsh, and island access are both our heritage and our economy.

Why this still matters

Beach renourishment, drainage, and storm resilience are long-cycle commitments. They only work when funding and maintenance stay consistent between storms.

Island access — the connectors and the bridges — is a safety issue before it is a convenience issue.

What I'm watching

Other issues

An area of genuine professional expertise — where Woody can contribute something beyond political opinion.
