The Coastal Symposium will feature presentations, networking opportunities, workshops, and field trips. Over three days, participants will explore the state of our coastal systems in the face of a rapidly changing climate, discuss current topics related to coastal wetland management, and provide input on management and conservation approaches for this upper Great Lakes setting. Participants will spend time in the classroom and in the field sharing experiences and best practices for managing coastal waters, vegetation, and wildlife. The Coastal Symposium will bring together stakeholders involved in research and management of coastal systems to discuss means and tools for prioritizing ongoing conservation and restoration efforts in the eastern Upper Peninsula with relevance throughout the Great Lakes region. The Great Lakes Coastal Symposium is an event for coastal stakeholders including managers, restoration practitioners, scientists, educators and university students.
