This workshop series on equitable and inclusive engagement will connect participants with experienced Adaptation in Action coaches who can help plan, design and deliver stronger, more equitable adaptation projects. Each session focuses on a specific challenge local governments and Indigenous communities may encounter when designing and implementing climate adaptation projects.
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the annual United Nations climate summit where nearly 200 countries negotiate
In 2026, Blue Convergence Fund ran a request for proposals for engagement projects that would mobilize existing knowledge for action and decision-making associated with ocean, coastal, and/or estuarine biodiversity. Following a rigorous external review process we now have ten new projects across three US regions: Puget Sound, Chesapeake Bay, and Mobile Bay. In this first webinar, we will feature grantees discussing their work to engage local communities and partners to advance habitat restoration and stewardship across these three unique regions. Speakers hail from Mobile Baykeeper, Puget Sound Restoration Fund, Reef Check Foundation, University of WA, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and the Vason-Maury Island Nature Center.

In this second webinar, we will feature grantees discussing their work to engage local communities in discussing knowledge systems, governance integration, and decision pathways for ocean biodiversity. Speakers hail from University of South Alabama, the Indigenous Conservation Council, Thriving Coasts Consulting, Long Live the Kings, and Maritime Blue.
Blue Finance 2026 follows the journey money has to make — from institutional capital markets to the coast itself, and to the businesses, large and small, whose decisions determine what actually happens in the water. It asks how the UK reshapes that pathway well enough to become a model others follow.
The 8th International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC8) is a global gathering focused on advancing science-based solutions for ocean conservation. IMCC8 will take place in Edinburgh, Scotland, from November 13-17, 2026 at the Edinburgh International Conference Center (EICC)
Join GSA and RAVEN for a creative workshop exploring our relationships with place, climate change, grief, belonging, and collective care.
What sustains us through times of change, when the ground beneath our feet seems strange and unreal?
Solastalgia describes the distress we feel when “home” doesn’t feel like home anymore, a sense of homesickness one feels when the places we live start changing around us.
We are pleased to offer a Green Shores Level 1 in North Saanich that is open to the public with priority given to local residents. Green Shores Level 1 introduces participants to shoreline principles and management practices, with an emphasis on the purpose and application of the Green Shores credit and rating systems.
The Flatfish Biology Conference strives to provide a forum where a diverse community of scientists, researchers, and students come together to present their findings and share knowledge in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Stream restoration has become a catch-all phrase nationwide to describe all sorts of river management activities including flood and erosion control, habitat enhancement and endangered species recovery, and sediment and nutrient reduction efforts. An understanding of fluvial geomorphology can be helpful in establishing the underlying causes for stream degradation and bank erosion, anticipating how the stream will change over time if no restoration occurs, developing appropriate restoration strategies for the given setting, and foreseeing how streams will respond to a proposed restoration project. In this way, the actual needs for restoration can be documented, restoration projects tailored for a given site, and better restoration outcomes achieved. This course will utilize examples from around the country (and in fact the world) with particular focus on New England, the Pacific Northwest, and the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, but will be of value to all, regardless of location, as the basic principles of fluvial geomorphology and stream restoration to be covered in the course are applicable everywhere.
