SUMMARY:SAGE WEBINAR: The Dutch ‘Room for the River’ Program: A Modern Approach for Managing High Water Levels in the Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:The Sustainable Adaptive Gradients in the Coastal Environment (SAGE) Program invites you to a Webinar on October 18\, 2017  \nThe Dutch ‘Room for the River’ Program: A Modern Approach for Managing High Water Levels in the Netherlands \nWednesday\, October 18\, 2017\, 12:00-1:00pm EDT \nTo connect\, go to: https://nucoe.webex.com\nEvent number: 668812686\nPassword: SAGE2017 \nA new paradigm for flood risk management in the Netherlands is presented. Known as the ‘Room for the River’ program\, this approach acknowledges the force of nature and the necessity to live with it\, especially in a populous\, vulnerable and prosperous delta such as the Netherlands. It’s also an approach that embraces the opportunities our rivers bring\, by using flood risk measures to add quality to the natural and urban landscapes surrounding them. This new approach will be described\, illustrating the various aspects of the program\, like its governance set up\, the intended goals and various technical characteristics of implementation using case studies of the projects that have been completed\, almost all within time and budget. \nPim Nijssen studied planning and management science at the Radboud University Nijmegen (the Netherlands) and currently works as a principle for the leading independent firm Twynstra Gudde. His field of experience lies in building coalitions between organizations and people in the field of water management and spatial planning. Pim has worked for a variety of national and international clients whose projects address the complex impacts of climate change. He has worked in Florida\, Bangladesh and various European countries. For the Room for the River project at Nijmegen\, he received the International Waterfront Award in New York. \n\n\n\nFor questions or ability to access online\, contact:\nAnna McAvinchey\, a.mcavinchey@northeastern.edu or call 617.373.4087 To learn more about the initiative\, visit: www.resilient-infrastructure.org

SUMMARY:CCRN WEBINAR: Balancing social justice and conservation concerns in an era of expanded protected area targets
DESCRIPTION:The Community Conservation Research Network (CCRN) presents the 8th webinar in its 2017 series\, titled: Balancing Social Justice and Conservation in an Era of Expanded Protected Area Targets. Dr. Merle Sowman from the Department of Environmental and Geographical Science at the University of Cape Town is the presenter. \nMonday\, September 25th\, 2017 at 11 am Eastern Daylight Time (8 am PDT; 12 noon ADT; 3 pm UTC)  \nRegister here.  \n \nMarine Protected Areas (MPAs) are increasingly recognised across the world as an important strategy for protecting marine resources\, conserving biodiversity\, rebuilding threatened fish stocks and restoring degraded habitats. The value of MPAs has been discussed at various global gatherings such as the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 and the Fifth World Parks Congress in Durban in  South Africa in 2003\, as well as various Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) meetings. Furthermore\, several conservation and fisheries development agencies have also called for action to speed up the process of marine protection and have encouraged governments to establish MPAs and MPA networks. Various conventions\, protocols and agreements\, all recognise the importance of the conservation of coastal and marine resources and areas\, but they also highlight the need to take account of the socio-economic and cultural rights and interests of local communities living in and adjacent to such areas. Governments are faced with calls to expand MPAs and establish a representative network of MPAs but also to address the potential impacts of MPA’s\, on rights\, livelihoods and social wellbeing of coastal communities. This webinar explores the tensions between efforts to manage existing and extend protected areas and requirements to respect rights and livelihoods of local communities living in and adjacent to such areas. It draws on cases from South Africa to illustrate some of the tensions and challenges on the ground and explores possible shifts – in thinking\, values and approaches – required to move towards an approach to marine conservation that embraces social justice principles. \nTo view other upcoming CCRN webinars\, click here.

SUMMARY:SAGE WEBINAR: Sustainable Shorescapes - Using Natural and Created Marshes to Preserve Coastal Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Join SAGE (Systems Approach to Geomorphic Engineering) on September 21st (1:00 pm EDT) for a free webinar. Sustainable shorescapes: using natural and created marshes to preserve coastal resilience will be presented by Donna Marie Bilkovic\, Research Associate Professor of Marine Science\, Center for Coastal Resources Management\, Virginia Institute of Marine Science. \nRegister here. \nGlobally\, shoreline protection approaches are evolving towards the use of marsh vegetation and other natural and nature-based features (living shorelines henceforth)\, as a preferred alternative to shoreline armoring. \nSAGE proposes a conceptual framework delineating theoretical differences in living shoreline salt marshes from natural marshes in order to identify research priorities and engineering challenges to improve the capacity of these created habitats.  Prominent differences influencing ecosystem development and coastal resilience include (1) differences in the plant communities\, (2) the use of coarse sand material\, (3) the uniform topography\, vegetation\, and edge characteristics\, and (4) impacts of novel habitat introduction.  Some of these differences may change over time and some may be lessened with design modifications. In addition\, faunal interactions with saltmarshes vary in created and natural marshes. We present new findings of a living shoreline salt marsh ecosystem\, focusing on the predominant marsh bivalve\, Geukensia demissa (ribbed mussel).  Positive interactions occur between Geukensia demissa and Spartina alterniflora (cordgrass) facilitating many ecosystem services. \nGains in high-functioning marsh acreage through the use of living shoreline strategies may help offset projected loss of existing salt marshes to erosion\, sea level rise\, and development. The scope and success of living shoreline projects can be enhanced by collaborating with scientists\, managers\, engineers\, and landowners\, as well as by gaining a better understanding of the elements driving shoreline management decision. Moving living shoreline science forward as a cross-disciplinary study will maximize benefits to both the human and natural systems\, promoting coastal areas which are truly resilient into the next century.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Public Trust Doctrine\, Coastal Land Use\, and Sea Level Rise
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on August 16th from 12 – 1PM to hear from Don Gourlie\, Early Career Law & Policy Fellow at the Center for Ocean Solutions\, on the Public Trust Doctrine\, Coastal Land Use\, and Sea Level Rise. \nCalifornia’s policymakers\, coastal managers\, and communities increasingly recognize that the inevitable collision of sea level rise with certain coastal development trends—what some have termed the “coastal squeeze”—threatens California’s coast and the important public benefits it provides. An ancient legal principle\, the public trust doctrine\, requires California to protect and sustain its coastal tidelands and submerged lands for public purposes ranging from navigation and commerce to recreation and conservation\, and provides the State with the authority to defend the public’s interests when they are at risk. As a result\, California will find strong legal support—rooted in long-standing precedents and principles of property law—for considering the anticipated effects of sea level rise and other climate change impacts on public trust resources and interests in planning and decision making. To provide a clear interpretation of the public trust doctrine’s potential role in climate change adaptation along California’s coast\, the Center for Ocean Solutions convened a working group of public trust and coastal land use experts in October 2016. The working group members jointly authored a consensus statement\, which describes California’s duty and authority under the public trust doctrine and identifies opportunities for policymakers\, coastal managers\, and stakeholders to improve the governance and management of our coastal public trust resources and uses in light of sea level rise. Click here for the full report prepared by the Center for Ocean Solutions. \n \nDon Gourlie joined COS as an early career law and policy fellow in September of 2014. Don’s captivating journey to becoming an early career legal fellow at COS began in New England where he was raised and spent summers at the beach and ocean science summer camps. His love for the oceans led him to the University of Tampa where he earned a dual degree in marine science and biology. In subsequent years\, he worked as a fisheries observer\, environmental consultant\, and aquarium educator before deciding to transition into law and policy. His education at Lewis & Clark Law School provided him with competence in many aspects of ocean and coastal law\, including international environmental law\, marine wildlife protection\, climate change law\, environmental decision-making\, and administrative law. He has been working on coastal adaptation and public trust issues for several years. \nWEBEX INFORMATION\nTopic: CACRNetwork Webinar: Public Trust Doctrine\, Coastal Land Use\, and Sea Level Rise\nHost: Kelly Leo\nDate: Wednesday\, August 16\, 2017\nTime: 12:00 pm\, Pacific Daylight Time (San Francisco\, GMT-07:00)\nSession number: 648 582 128\nSession password: This session does not require a password.\n——————————————————-\nTo start the session\n——————————————————- \n\nGo to https://tnc.webex.com/tnc/k2/j.php?MTID=t9d5aa8468825be39cdaec12a0e0d4a4d\n\nTROUBLESHOOTING NOTES: You do NOT need to sign up for a WebEx account to log in. This training session should be listed in public upcoming sessions and the login information is listed above.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Timing the flood: sea level rise\, tidal flooding and future exposure along America's coasts
DESCRIPTION:OneNOAA Science Seminar Series\nTiming the flood: sea level rise\, tidal flooding and future exposure along America’s coasts\nThu\, August 10\, 12pm – 1pm ET\nMore information \nSpeaker: William Sweet\, Oceanographer\, NOAA’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS)\, Planning\, Monitoring and Analysis Branch\nSponsor: NOAA’s National Ocean Service Science Seminar; seminar coordinator is tracy.gill@noaa.gov \nRemote Access: Mymeeting webinar uses phone for and internet. Audio is only available over the phone: dial toll-free from US or CAN: 1-877-708-1667. Enter code 7028688# For the webcast\, go to www.mymeetings.com Under “Participant Join”\, click “Join an Event”\, then add conf no: 744925156. No code is needed for the web. Be sure to install the correct plug‐in for WebEx before the seminar starts (temporary plugin works fine). \nAbstract: Because of relative sea level rise (SLR)\, frequencies of high tide (nuisance) flooding causing minor impacts occur upwards of 300% to 1000% more often than in the 1960s. Annual flood frequencies are accelerating in dozens of U.S. locations and currently pose a costly challenge to several afflicted cities. This presentation will address: i) current trends and patterns of high tide flooding\, and ii) when in the future more severe coastal flooding posing a ‘serious risk to life and property’ may become the new normal along U.S. coastlines under the new sea level rise scenarios. \nAbout the Speaker: William Sweet is a NOAA oceanographer researching changes in coastal exposure due to sea level rise (SLR). He recently helped the U.S. military assess SLR risks to their coastal installations and led the production of a new set of regional SLR scenarios for the 4th U.S. National Climate Assessment. He now lives in Annapolis and experiences SLR effects first-hand.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Weigh in on the CA Sea-Level Rise Guidance Update
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR: Weigh in on the CA Sea-Level Rise Guidance Update \nJuly 11\, 1pm PDT \nJoin us for an opportunity to hear from Jenn Eckerle\, Deputy Director at the Ocean Protection Council (OPC)\, and to weigh in on the CA Sea-Level Rise Guidance Update. OPC is in the process of updating the State Sea-Level Rise Guidance Document to reflect new scientific understanding and projections of sea-level rise. OPC would like to solicit input from the Coastal Resilience Network on how members are using the current sea-level rise guidance and feedback on the draft structure for the updated policy guidance to ensure that it is useful for decision-making. \n \nJenn Eckerle is the Deputy Director of the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC). She is responsible for supervising staff and helping set the strategic priorities for coast and ocean policy in California. Before joining OPC\, Jenn spent eight years as an ocean policy analyst for the Natural Resources Defense Council\, where she conducted technical analysis and developed policy recommendations to advance ocean conservation related to marine protected areas\, fisheries\, marine debris\, desalination\, underwater noise\, oil drilling and aquaculture.  Jenn earned an M.S. in Marine Biology from the Florida Institute of Technology and a B.S. in Biology from the University of Vermont. \nBackground: The State’s updated Sea-Level Rise Guidance will assist state agencies and local governments integrate sea-level rise into their planning\, permitting and investment decisions.  Recent work from an OPC-Science Advisory Team Working Group (Rising Seas in California: An update on sea-level rise science) will serve as a foundational piece for the update to the Guidance Document. OPC has convened a Policy Advisory Committee consisting of leaders from the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research\, the California Energy Commission\, the California Natural Resources Agency and OPC to guide the development of this update and has engaged in an inclusive public outreach process with other state agencies\, local governments\, tribes and stakeholders throughout the process.  The draft guidance will be available for public review in Fall 2017 with the final guidance anticipated for adoption by the OPC in January 2018. \nWebEx Info for Webinar:\nTopic: Weigh in on the CA Sea-Level Rise Guidance Update \nDate: Tuesday\, July 11\, 2017\nTime: 1:00 pm (PDT)\nSession number: 644 332 318\nSession password: This session does not require a password.\n——————————————————-\nTo start the session\n——————————————————-\n1.
