Management of coastal risks involves a complex set of public agencies and private partners. The following is a partial list of some of the involved parties. In the future, this list will be expanded with commentary on the roles of each of these bodies and how they relate to each other in regards to managing coastal adaptation. For example, if a municipality like Marshfield decides to pursue the building of a new coastal structure as part of its adapation plan, then each of several Town bodies are required to evaluate the project's plan and its funding in a certain order, while a series of state and federal bodies will have authority over the permitting of the project, but which bodies are involved at each level depends on the details of the project. Project planning and execution can be made more efficient if the "chain of command" is well understood and the bodies whose legal authority represent the tightest bottlenecks for the particular project can be identified and brought into active partnership at an early stage. Similar advantages can be leveraged from both private and government organizations who do not have legal authority over a project, but who may be able to provide other forms of aid such as grant funding, research studies, a voice for public opinion, logistical support, and well-experienced advice.
