Webinar: Advancing Coastal Resilience through Nature-Based Solutions – Training Programs for Practitioners
Date/Time: Thursday, August 22, 2024, 3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. EST
We have a webinar on August 22 that’s about training people to do nature-based solution projects, such as mangrove restoration. If you’re interested, please see the invitation below. This is focused on the US, but may be applicable. Not a needs assessment or survey in itself, but we’ll discuss the things that you need to consider when developing training programs.
Advancing Coastal Resilience through Nature-Based Solutions: Training Programs for Practitioners
This webinar will showcase two programs aimed at expanding the availability of qualified practitioners that can install living shorelines and other nature-based shoreline approaches. The two programs are:
- Ohio’s Nature-based Shoreline Training Program, presented by Emily Kuzmick from Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve, and
- Florida’s Marine Contractor Living Shoreline Training Course, presented by Armando Ubeda from Florida Sea Grant.
This webinar is part of a new informational series sharing NOAA-supported projects that use nature-based solutions to advance coastal resilience. If you are new to nature-based solutions, the Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Hazards: The Basics interactive module is a helpful introduction.
