STUDENT AWARDS PROGRAM

The Coastal Society actively supports opportunities for students to present emerging concepts and enrich the coastal community’s collective knowledge. Student awards provide a means of acknowledging the best student paper, poster and presentation. Awards will be presented at The Coastal Society 19^th International Conference.
