Matthew is interested in researching methods to build resilience towards coastal storms and sea level rise. Projections suggest an increase in coastal storms combined with sea levels rising. This could have devastating consequences to coastal communities. His research  identifies the perceptions and attitudes of marina owners towards a changing climate. In addition, it will serve as a base for future research to build upon in order to develop incentives for marina owners to invest in resilience improvements.
