About the Project

Using case studies of real-world applications, this project developed a training curriculum for coastal managers to advance nature-based coastal adaptation strategies, achieve consistency in practices, and think creatively about site-relevant solutions to rising sea level. The project piloted the training curriculum at two collaborative workshops. The training curriculum can be used by others to more effectively disseminate best practices to address critical coastal management issues.
