The Upper North Shore of Massachusetts, encompassing Salisbury, Newburyport, and Newbury, was awarded CZM’s FY26 Coastal Resilience Grant.

The Town of Salisbury is soliciting proposals for a project funded by the CZM FY26 Coastal Resilience Grant, focusing on the Upper North Shore of Massachusetts, including Salisbury, Newburyport, and Newbury. The selected consultant will perform a quantitative assessment of coastal processes, sediment dynamics, and shore protection strategies to build upon previous research. The scope of work consists of six primary tasks, which include reviewing and collecting data, conducting public outreach and engagement, and performing modeling and analyses of shore stabilization alternatives. The project will culminate in a comprehensive final report and a detailed needs assessment to guide future coastal resilience efforts.
