Four from UCI Named to N.J. Coastal Resilience Collaborative Leadership

The New Jersey Coastal Resilience Collaborative (NJCRC) recently reorganized with a new leadership structure that includes four members of the Monmouth University Urban Coast Institute (UCI). As its co-managing director, UCI Associate Director Tom Herrington will help oversee the consortium's day-to-day activities. UCI Director Tony MacDonald, who had previously served for several years as the organization's co-chair, will sit on its newly formed Board of Directors.

Under the new structure, the leaders of the NJCRC's various workgroups are also automatic members of the board. UCI Coastal Resilience and Restoration Practitioner Meredith Comi serves as the NJCRC's Ecological Restoration and Science Workgroup lead while UCI Communications Director Karl Vilacoba is its Communications Workgroup lead.

The NJCRC is a network established to foster sustainable and resilient coastal communities and ecosystems by generating informed action. Its partnership includes over 80 academic institutions, businesses, NGOs, advocacy groups, state agencies, municipalities and regional planning groups.
