The Marine Disaster Economics Assessment Extension Program will provide information and tools for coastal communities and residents, marine, agricultural, coastal-related industries, business establishments and organizations, state and federal regulatory agencies, land grant and sea grant research and extension staff, and interested students to develop damage assessment economic models.
