Agenda

We invite you to explore a robust agenda focused on advancing resilience across our coastal communities. Sessions will cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Policy: Where Have We Been and Where Are We Going?
• Communication and Community Engagement Across Scales
• Technologies and Strategies in Resilience
• The NC Resilient Coastal Communities Program: Success Stories, Case Studies, and Lessons Learned
• Coastal Resilience Through Immersive Training and Gamification
• Adapting to Changes in Natural Resource and Infrastructure Management
• Oysters and Scallops and Parasites, Oh My!
• Partnering in the Scuppernong River Watershed for Equitable Community Engagement to Improve Resilience to Flooding

We’re also thrilled to announce that Fabien Cousteau and Brian Helmuth of PROTEUS™, the visionary ocean science center, will be our opening panel on the first day of the conference. This sea-floor observatory and research platform will serve scientists, innovators, and others in the search for solutions to critical concerns, such as food sustainability and climate impacts, as well as opening new avenues to medical discoveries and other advances.

This conference offers a unique opportunity to connect with leading experts, engage in meaningful discussions, and gain insights into the latest strategies for fostering resilient coastal economies and ecosystems.
