Project Overview
The City of Tybee Island is progressive when it comes to planning. The City currently has a
Beach Management Plan (updated in 2016), a Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan (2016), a
Stormwater Master Drainage Plan (updated in 2021), and a NFWF funded Coastal Marsh
Community Resilience Adaptation Project for the back barrier side of the island (to be completed
April 2022). These plans focus on specific aspects of managing Tybee's natural and built assets. However, some plans are outdated, and few plans outline resiliency measures. This project proposes to combine the above-mentioned documents into a Comprehensive
Community Resilience Plan (CCRP) to implement projects through the lens of sea level rise and
climate change vulnerabilities, as well as Nature Based Infrastructure and Green Infrastructure
opportunities, and the GCMP's recently completed model resilience ordinances. The GCMP's
Strategy also calls for a comprehensive Resiliency Reference Guide (Guide) to be developed and
tailored to individual communities to more effectively mitigate risks and enhance resiliency. The
Tybee CCRP will be included into the Guide as a prime example for use by other local
governments
