The Coastal Society (TCS) (https://thecoastalsociety.org/) invites you to attend a forum on Priority Issues in Coastal North Carolina, hosted by UNCW's Center for Marine Science in partnership with North Carolina Sea Grant. This one-day in-person event will feature plenary speakers from state government, NGOs, and academia plus breakout sessions for in-depth discussion of priority coastal issues in North Carolina - Natural & Community Resilience, PFAS, and Marine Spatial Planning. Join us for lively dialogue and extensive networking throughout the event and afterwards (happy hour at Wilmington Brewing Company!). All coastal or environmental professionals and students at the undergraduate level or higher are encouraged to attend and anyone interested in these topics is also welcome!

Join the NC Climate Education Network for an open house webinar focused on ocean acidification and its effects in North Carolina. This webinar will feature Dr. Janet Reimer and Dr. Liz Perotti, both of NOAA's Ocean Acidification Program, and Knauss Fellow Natalie Lord, also with the Ocean Acidification Program.

This presentation will summarize the recent US Supreme Court’s Sackett decision which narrowed the extent of the Clean Water Act, notably for the Section 404 Permitting portion of the Act implemented primarily by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Local examples of the impact of the decision will be discussed to illustrate the effect of the decision.

Join New York Sea Grant and the Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica Bay in their second of three virtual forums. The primary goal of these forums is to address knowledge gaps Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) stakeholders (researchers, policymakers, and practitioners) have identified in a recent workshop pertaining to the implementation and management of Nature Based Solutions in New York State.
