3 events,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.

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.

3 events,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.

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.

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.

Coastal mangrove and seagrass ecosystems are vital for shoreline protection and coastal livelihoods, yet many are degraded or threatened by human impacts. Engaging youth in conservation and restoration is essential, but barriers such as inadequate support, policy gaps, and unclear pathways for participation limit meaningful, sustained engagement.

6 events,The 7th edition of the World Conference on Marine Biodiversity will be organized in Bruges between November 17th and 20th 2026. Find out more about the venue here. The WCMB 2026 will fly the UN Ocean Decade flag, as it has been endorsed as a UN Ocean Decade Event. The overall theme of the Conference is “The marine biodiversity insights we need, for the ocean we want”. As the Conference will take place a little over halfway through the UN Ocean Decade, it will provide an excellent opportunity to take stock of ongoing actions and initiatives, but also evaluate what still needs to be tackled by the end of the Decade.

Marine heatwaves are one of the most direct ways climate change affects ocean biodiversity. Past events have removed kelp forests and seagrass meadows, caused mass coral bleaching, and triggered harmful algal blooms and fisheries closures. Global sea surface temperatures reached a record high in August 2026, and the 2026–27 El Niño is forecast to be very strong, increasing the likelihood of marine heatwaves across multiple ocean basins.
