Coastal Resilience Goes Social: How a National Park Service intern uses social media to fuel conversation about coastal resilience
Remillard J and Gottschalk Druschke C. 2015. Coastal Resilience Goes Social: How a National Park Service intern uses social media to fuel conversation about coastal resilience
Marianna Falso landed in New York City just two weeks shy of the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. Her arrival also coincided with the National Park Service’s(NPS) shift from recovery work to mitigation, from setting things right that had been upturned or destroyed during Hurricane Sandy to a forward-looking gaze that rallies whole communities to change. That’s where Marianna comes in. Her mission is to get people learning about and talking about climate change: how it’s affecting our coasts, what it means for the future of coastal communities, how NPS is responding, and what everyone can do to make a difference.
