Looking Back: Twelve Years of Coastal Restoration and Resilience Since Hurricane Sandy

Twelve years ago, Hurricane Sandy forever changed the landscape of New York and New Jersey’s coastlines, leaving behind more than $50 billion in damages. In the aftermath, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, embarked on a mission of monumental importance: to rebuild, restore, and protect the vulnerable shorelines. Today, those efforts stand as a testament to resilience, innovation, and long-term planning. The New York District's coastal restoration and storm risk management projects have transformed these coastal communities, ensuring they are better prepared for future storms and rising sea levels.
