We conducted
32 key-informant interviews, including fifteen residents, nine local municipal
officials, five state officials, and three federal officials. Residents were mainly
recruited through the Ortley Beach Voters and Taxpayers Association (OBVTA) and
snowball sampling. Relevant state and federal officials were identified based
on roles in coastal risk management and program implementation, as well as snowball
sampling.
At the
time of the interviews, local government was Republican and state and federal
government were Democratic. Local officials included the mayor, township
administrator, council member, township engineer, township planner, code
enforcement, and emergency management. The state officials held leadership
positions in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP),
including the Chief Resilience Officer, and senior project or environmental
engineering positions within the Division of Coastal Engineering. We also
interviewed leadership in the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management (NJOEM).
Federal stakeholders occupied leadership positions in FEMA Region II.
Residents
were chosen for their deep community knowledge and represented diverse
community organizations, including the Ortley Beach Voters and Taxpayers
Association (OBVTA), Friends of Ortley Beach, Toms River Environmental
Commission, Toms River Green Team, and the New Jersey Organizing Project. Several
residents trained as Coastal Stewards through the Rutgers Environmental
Certification Program. One resident is a volunteer for the Zoning Board of Toms
River. Residents also represented diverse occupations, including real estate
agents, small family business owners, and schoolteachers.
Most
residents were primary homeowners, White, over the age of 50, and long-term
residents of Ortley Beach. Incomes
ranged from $60,000 to over $200,000, or middle to upper income. While the
sample reflects the general socio-demographic profile of Ortley Beach, the
limited sample size means that certain groups may be under-represented, such as
renters, secondary homeowners, low-income groups, non-White populations, and
younger families (see Supplemental Information (SI) for demographic summary
statistics).
Interviews
lasted 45-60 minutes. Most interviews with locals took place in person in June
2022. Interviews with state and federal officials took place via video
conference between June and August 2022. Follow-ups occurred March-June 2023.
Interviews were recorded and transcribed with the consent of participants, per
IRB protocol. Twenty-one participants completed a voluntary questionnaire.
