The Collaboratory for Coastal Adaptation over Space and Time, or C-CoAST, made up of coastal practitioners, stakeholders and researchers, hosted two virtual listening sessions in February with residents and stakeholders to better understand long-term priorities, and look at how short-term decision making can support or undermine priorities.
What the network learns during these sessions will help inform collaborative efforts to assist North Carolina coastal communities in meeting future challenges.
