Explore the Hub's linked initiatives & networks
Connect with initiatives and networks supported through the Coastal Habitats Hub. These groups bring together researchers, practitioners, Indigenous partners and other knowledge holders to share expertise, develop tools, identify priorities and advance coastal stewardship.
By getting involved, you can contribute your knowledge and connect with others working across Canada’s coasts. The activities and priorities that emerge from these groups feed directly back into the Hub’s broader work. By bringing knowledge together and connecting it across regions and initiatives, we ensure that the insights from these groups can inform future research, collaboration and action.
