This forum will bring together state and local decision makers, municipal staff, and other interested parties working to address coastal issues to share information on best practices, identify opportunities to increase resilience, and enhance coordination across communities. You will hear presentations from state, regional, and local partners about planning for sea level rise, coastal monitoring, and resilience techniques and case studies. In the afternoon, we will head over to Iron Pier Beach/Maidstone Landing to view and learn about a community bluff restoration project. More detailed information will be provided closer to the date.

This event is hosted by Long Island Sound Study and New York Sea Grant, in partnership with Nassau and Suffolk Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Nassau CCE, and Maidstone Landing. 

Included: A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. We will have a bus to transport participants to the field trip site.
