Participate in a unique event to discuss the protection and restoration of nearshore habitat and biodiversity in Puget Sound in the context of sea level rise and climate change related hazards. The two day in person program will be highly interactive and include a mixture of presentations, panels, and breakout sessions focused on creating a shared space to learn and catalyze collaboration.

Join us to: 

  • Build community among practitioners responding to sea level rise in Puget Sound. 
  • Understand current and projected impacts of sea level rise on nearshore habitat (e.g., coastal squeeze, erosion, and flooding).
  • Identify barriers, needs, and opportunities for short term and long-term strategic planning.
  • Amplify innovative approaches, tools, networks, funding, and nature-based solutions. 
  • Address Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Accessibility (DEIJA) best practices and principles in resiliency planning.

This event will be held at the Lynnwood Events Center, located at 3711 196th St. SW, Lynnwood, WA 98036.
