IAN returns to India for integrated coastal zone management workshops

Wolf CrabIn the second collaboration with the National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM) and as part of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management project in India, an IAN team visited the State of Gujarat in early September to conduct two workshops: 1) the Coastal Ecosystem Health Report Card for the Marine National Park workshop in Jamnagar, and 2) the Gulf of Kachchh Cumulative Environmental Impact Assessment Framework workshop in Gandhinagar. A field day at the Marine National Park gave the IAN staff a chance to see first-hand some of the tidal zone and coral reef biodiversity that is the focus of the ecological report card.
