The California Sea Grant Extension Program is pleased to host, in Cooperation with the NOAA Coastal Services Center, the following two workshops. While case studies and examples will address coastal and marine issues, skills in facilitation, understanding group dynamics, meeting management, conflict resolution, negotiation, and mediation would benefit anyone involved in the use and management of natural resources.
Space is limited and early registration is encouraged.
CA California's remarkable 1,200 mile coastline supports an unparalleled wealth of natural resources used for commerce and recreation by the State's 34 million residents. Research to better understand, utilize and protect California's coastal and marine resources is crucial in a state where 80 percent of an expanding population live in coastal areas. The goal of this conference is to improve the use and management of these resources by highlighting marine research and outreach currently being conducted in California, and to encourage networking between the research and extension communities.
