Coastal Resilience Master Class
Maine Coast Heritage Trust in conjunction with the Open Space Institute organized and facilitated a master class covering various subjects pertaining to coastal resilience.
This includes sea level rise data, marsh migration, blue carbon, climate change communication, working with municipalities and more. The class is targeted to land trust professionals, but the information shared and workshopped at the classes is available to anyone interested in learning more about this pressing issue and what is being done about it.
