There are workshop and field trip opportunities at TCS21 on Sunday, June 29, including a workshop about redevelopment planning and a field trip to Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. Check out the workshops and field trips below! Workshops Redevelopment Planning For Coastal Communities Post-disaster redevelopment planning is an important tool for developed coastal areas subject to risk from natural hazards. Post-disaster redevelopment planning is voluntary in most states; however, communities across the country are beginning to recognize the value of planning for post-disaster redevelopment in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent Gulf Coast recovery efforts. Planning prior to a disruptive event enhances coastal community resilience and eases post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. This workshop will focus on the fundamentals of recovery and redevelopment planning; provide examples of good redevelopment plans and lessons learned; and introduce participants to the planning process, including how to form multi-disciplinary planning teams and conduct public involvement. Redevelopment planning in the context of rising sea levels and climate change will also be discussed.
Challenging Issues, Challenging Future: Take The Challenge To Be A Leader In Coastal Management In 2028 Coastal management is in a period of profound transition. The profession faces challenges and opportunities to build upon the past 30 years and to proactively face the future. Leaders in coastal management at local, state, and national organizations will be retiring en masse within the next ten years as the Baby-Boomers (born ~1946-1964) are replaced with Generation-X’ and Y-ers (born ~ 1964-1977 and ~1977-1997 respectively). The Coastal Zone Management Act that has been a major driver of coastal management in the past three decades is under revision and any changes will shape federal and state efforts in the future. The exodus of current leaders is concerning in terms of the collective “loss” of institutional history and intellectual capital; however the departure of leadership across multiple levels provides opportunities for young professionals with the interest and motivation to positively impact coastal resources. Building from the Coastal Zone 2007 discussion “Preparing for the Next Generation of Coastal Management,” the panel speakers will offer insight into their experiences, challenges and lessons learned during their careers as coastal professionals. Speakers will discuss what future coastal management issues and managers might “look like” in the year 2028, just a short 20 years away. Motivating presentations will challenge participants to think creatively about the future role of individuals and organizations in positively impacting coastal management. A facilitated discussion will follow to identify steps to take to foster inspired, innovative, and flexible professionals prepared to steward the oceans and coasts of 2028. Potential speakers include:
Workshop Leaders: Susan White and Cory Riley
