 | Water Issues: South Atlantic Alliance Formed to Manage and Protect Coastal Resources |
 In October 2009, governors of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida signed an agreement to form the South Atlantic Alliance. The Alliance pledges to work together to better manage and protect coastal resources, while ensuring economic sustainability and resiliency. The Alliance will bring together federal partners and stakeholders from academic, nongovernmental, and business communities. Four initial priority issue areas have been established: healthy coastal ecosystems; disaster-resilient communities; clean coastal and ocean waters; and working waterfronts. In the Southeast, coasts and oceans provide food, recreation, and transportation, while also supporting a wide range of natural resources. They are experiencing increasing pressure and conflict: coastal development impacts water quality and risk to human life during hurricanes and coastal storms; sea level rise and climate change alter natural and human communities; commercial and recreational uses can crowd waterways and create conflict between humans and nature.
