Coastal Zone 11 Conference--Winds of Change: Great Lakes, Great Oceans, Great Communities

July 17 - 21, 2011
Chicago, IL

Purpose: to share and launch innovations in future coastal initiatives and partnerships.

Many factors are changing our coastal communities and our estuarine, marine, and Great Lakes environments. Recurring problems such as the impacts of coastal development and new threats such as those related to invasive species, global climate change and other human-induced hazards require new approaches to ocean and coastal resource management. The Coastal Zone 11 Conference will explore these challenges and learn from the experiences of leaders across the nation and around the world.
