COAST Card Project Highlights

The Coastal Ocean Assessment for Sustainability and Transformation (COAST Card) project had an eventful year consisting of both local and international travel.

  • Conference and workshop in Manila, Philippines
  • Conference and workshop in Tokyo, Japan; site visits to Ishigaki Island and Sekisei Lagoon, Japan
  • Stakeholder listening sessions in the Potomac Watershed, USA:
    • Alexandria, VA
    • Leonardtown, MD
    • Woodbridge, VA
    • Cumberland, MD
    • Silver Spring, MD

The international conferences and workshops allowed project partners to meet in person, make progress on goals, and gain a deeper understanding of the different study sites. The five stakeholder listening sessions held across the Potomac Watershed in the summer, facilitated by our second cohort of Global Sustainability Scholars, provided important insights on values, threats, and visions related to the watershed.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
