Bay Farm Island Adaptation Project

The Bay Farm Island Adaptation Project is a near-term sea level rise adaptation project to address two feet of sea level rise over the coming decades. This project also will include long-term adaptation strategies for the project area (2080 and beyond).

Current FEMA flood maps show the northern shoreline of Bay Farm Island as an entry point for coastal flooding at the 100-year flood event.  An existing aged concrete seawall currently protects lower magnitude flood events from entering Veterans Court from the Bay. However, the top of the seawall is at a lower elevation than the 100-year event. Many properties on Bay Farm Island are lower in elevation than the northern shoreline and would be potentially subject to flooding in the event of overtopping or failure.
